More guns, less crime

Posted 12 Jul 2005 in gun control

The federal ban on assault weapons ran out in September of 2004. And the gun control extremists on the left have been proven wrong again. The streets aren’t running red with blood, as Sarah Brady predicted when pushing to keep the measure. As usual, she tried to paint a picture of Bubba running rampant, firing his AK-47s and Uzis at all the SUVs and stabbing schoolchildren with his bayonet.

Speaking of which, did you realize the gun control nuts made it illegal to have a bayonet lug on the barrel of an assault rifle? Well, I guess I can see why they did that, seeing as how millions of times a day, people fall victim to drive-by bayonetings.

Sheesh.

Anyhow, the crime statistics are in now. And guess what? Murder rates have dropped since the ban was allowed to run out. In fact, violent crime has been reduced as well. Hrmmm.

The idiocy that exists in the kind of minds that want to ban firearms never ceases to amaze me. Their illogical compulsion to remove all guns from the hands of law-abiding citizens is just too ridiculous for me to understand. I always hear them quote scary statistics about gun injuries and deaths, but whenever I look at comparitive figures like how many people fall and are killed in their bathtubs, I realize just how ludicrous the whole thing is. But no matter which side of this debate you are on, you should at least find it comforting that when the assault rifle ban was repealed, the American public didn’t take it upon themselves to go on a shooting rampage to celebrate.

Only a small portion of the population does that. And it seems to happen more often as the result of a basketball game. Good thing we didn’t try to ban basketballs.
