Old 20/20 Segment - Myth: Gun Control Reduces Crime

[Iunnrais]

A friend of mine shared this one with me this morning:


From ABC 20/20 Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity with John Stossel, Myth #10 Gun Control Reduces Crime

"Could not document a single gun regulation that reduced violent crime." Not a single one. It's not like gun control doesn't ALWAYS work. It's that gun control NEVER works."

There was also a great article in the WSJ this week showcasing the "fail" of Washington DC's gun control "efforts" and the effect on crime. Very good.

If you're referring to the former D.C. prosecutor's op-ed piece on how he watched crime get dramatically WORSE after implementing gun control, and how they spent all their time jacking up otherwise law-abiding citizens, I agree - that was a very strong piece.

Hey, come on, stop it. Giving facts and reasoning to a liberal is like me trying to teach my dog algebra. You only get a puzzled look.
