First of all, most murders by any means are committed by young males. That is why the murder rates go down as the population ages; fewer young males to do the killing.
Bloody good reason to keep the registry, keep the guns out of the hands of young males!!
The anti-registry people are getting "desperate"???? Ah....we won. Legislation to be introduced this fall to kill that particular bit of stupidity dead at last.....a good start.
We'll see. Can't see all those mothers, who's daughters attending college died at the hands of an angry male sitting by and letting it happen.
The good doctor is correct.....murder rates rose immediately after full implementation of the registry........and suicide rates have not fallen significantly.
Rates probably rose because the guns were not traceable but soon would be. But suicides by guns has.
If there is no easily Measured advantage, we should always err on the side of liberty.
Of course, the liberty to not be shot by a young, poor person with a gun, or the liberty to argue with a mate and not get shot dead!! Or the liberty of a child to play in his yard and not get killed by a gun toting drive by numbskull.
Repeat....
Maybe If you compared the population demographics in both cities you might understand why...
REPEAT........Check out the Windsor/ corridor population and compare it to Chicago proper!! No matter how many excuses you come up with Zero to 700 is pretty hard to get around isn't it LOL.
