Reply #110: Any uptick quickly faded

[Statistical]

Also in January 2007 57% supported stricter gun control.
The largest mass shooting (VT) ever happened 3 months later.
By Oct 2008 (the next data point) support had dropped to an ALL TIME LOW of 49%.

Americans are waking up to the shrill rhetoric the antis have cried for the last 3 decades.

They said the AWB would lower crime - it didn't.
They said the AWB expiring would increase police deaths - it didn't.
They said instant background checks (vs. 5 day Brady check) would increase crime - it didn't.
They said "shall issue" CCW would lead to blood in the streets - it didn't.

More states have no registration.
More states have no ownership license.
More states allow CCW.
More states are "shall issue" than "may issue/may infringe".
CCW can carry in more location.
There are more gun, more gun owners, and more CCW permits.

Still crime has gone DOWN, homicide rate has gone DOWN, accidental deaths have gone DOWN!

Virtually every claim the antis have made in last 30 years has been wrong.
Despite more liberal gun laws we have lower violent crime & lower murder than the 30 years ago.


Chicago gun ban hasn't shown any noticeable drop in crime.
DC gun ban showed no noticeable drop in crime.
CA AWB has showned no noticeable drop in crime.

Gun Control DOESN'T WORK! That is what more & more Americans are realizing.
