The number of illegally used or owned guns taken off the streets in Oklahoma’s two most populous cities continues to increase. Police say they are watching to see of the new permitless-carry law will result in higher gun seizures. The number of illegally used or owned guns taken off the streets in Oklahoma’s two most populous cities continues to be on the rise. Data from the Oklahoma City and Tulsa police departments show gun seizures are up in both cities as officials say a mix of added crime-fighting enforcement measures and the ever-growing number of guns, owned legally or illegally by Oklahomans, is contributing to the increase.

"Adair said it’s possible the new law, which allows Oklahomans over 21 to carry a gun without a permit, could embolden those who are barred from legally owning any gun, such as most ex-felons, to flaunt Oklahoma’s gun restrictions."
There is no evidence to back such a prognostication, and it even flies in the face of simple logic.
"Most ex-felons" who are inclined to carry a gun are doing so already, and the new law will change nothing in that regard. Legalizing law-abiding citizens carrying without a permit cannot affect those who are already carrying illegally, prima facie.
Honestly, the way these people think is befuddling. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
