CMJeepster 2,765 Posted April 20, 2017 "Report: Eliminating DC’s Handgun Ban Had No Effect On Homicides" http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/report-eliminating-dcs-handgun-ban-had-no-effect-homicides-20265 ------ Shocker, right? Not that we didn't know that anyway, especially considering the Clinton-era "assault weapon" ban didn't do a damn thing either and we all know where that went. My favorite three points in the article: 1. Drug gangs don't acquire firearms legally; 2. Law-abiding citizens are the only ones that follow the rules; 3. The possibility of a homeowner having a firearm in their house deters violent crime. But of course "they" don't care... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maintenanceguy 508 Posted April 20, 2017 Logic has no place here. Fear of guns is an emotional issue. As strange as it is, people make decisions based on emotions, not facts. Gun haters (or more accurately, gun fearers) will not be swayed by facts. Guns are scary and must be banned because I'm afraid of them. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
