MN: Report: Gun violence costs Minnesota taxpayers the bulk of $764 million each year

Your precious Second Amendment rights are kind of expensive. In the Strib, Karen Zamora writes, “An April shooting at a law office on St. Paul's Cathedral Hill exacted a tragic toll, cutting short the promising life of 23-year-old law clerk Chase Passauer. The crime also had major economic repercussions. The costs of the investigation and incarceration, workers' compensation payments and burial expenses added up to roughly $7 million — $2 million of it footed by Minnesota taxpayers. Those figures appear in a study released Thursday by the self-described bipartisan advocacy group Minnesota Coalition for Common Sense. The report focuses on the high, sometimes hidden economic cost of firearm crimes.”

This kind of study means little if you don't look at the benefit side of cost/benefits. How many lives(thus income/insurance payouts/cost of prison time for a person convicted of maiming/killing someone who did NOT have the means to defend themselves) and on and on.

You can bet the presence of the thousands of primitive Somalians in greater Minneapolis cost the state about that much as well, but they're muslims so they get a pass.

How much does society save in brutalized lives, theft, and court costs every time a perp dies after his/her threats are stopped by armed self defense?
