This has been so obvious for so long. A few minutes on Wikipedia would reveal this to anyone. I wonder why they're suddenly changing their tune and broadcasting good news that's also the truth?

I had just read another article about this fact -

Gun Crime has Plunged, but Americans Think it's Up, says Study

[www.latimes.com]

So the fact is the more guns we have here in America, the less crime.

And the other day I heard a statistic - but I don't have the link - that if you take out five of our biggest crime-ridden cities, the Crime Rate for the US is the fourth best in the world. I don't remember all the cities, but I remember - Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles (probably NJ) ....but now that I see riverhousebill mentioning Florida, I bet it's Miami. So it's the gangs/criminals in the inner cities who are doing all the crime - not the regular law-abiding citizens who only want to protect themselves, their families and their property. And those very cities are where the gun control laws on the books are not being enforced. Not sure where that link is, either, but I'll put my hands on it tomorrow.

Yes, it's the gangs and just plain criminals in the inner-cities -

America Doesn’t Have a Gun Problem, It Has a Gang Problem

"A breakdown of the Chicago killing fields shows that 83% of those murdered in Chicago last year had criminal records. In Philly, it’s 75%. In Milwaukee it’s 77% percent. In New Orleans, it’s 64%. In Baltimore, it’s 91%. Many were felons who had served time. And as many as 80% of the homicides were gang related.

Chicago’s problem isn’t guns; it’s gangs. Gun control efforts in Chicago or any other major city are doomed because gangs represent organized crime networks which stretch down to Mexico, and trying to cut off their gun supply will be as effective as trying to cut off their drug supply."

Here's an idea - Let's give amnesty to all the illegals and open the borders so more criminals and gangs can come and live here, and then let them all collect Welfare and Foods Stamps and Medicaid and live off the system.

SHINGLETOWN, Calif. (AP) -- Sheriff's deputies discovered the truck of a man suspected of fatally shooting his wife and two young daughters at their rural Northern California home, but he's armed and dangerous and still on the loose, authorities said.

Humboldt County Sheriff's officials received 911 calls late Wednesday afternoon reporting that Shane Franklin Miller, 45, wanted in the killings in Shingletown, was driving the truck in a rural area near Petrolia, about 40 miles south of Eureka, Lt. Steve Knight said. Deputies fou

It looks like some people get a free pass on owning guns and others have to abide by the 'gun ban' --
