It's sloppy non scientific useless rubbish.

"But, instead, the law hasn't done anything to reduce violence. Last year, the District, never far out of the running, reclaimed the title of the U.S. murder capital among the 30 most populous cities."


Er? What if violence would have involved twice as many people dying? What if the gun ban slowed the rate of violence is that not worthy?

"In fact, the murder rate after 1976 has never fallen back to what it was in 1976. "

Neither has the price of beer. I blame the gun ban for beer prices going up.
