What NYC needs is stricter gun control laws! Oh, wait…they already have the most stringent ban in the nation. It’s doing lots of good. Perhaps Mayor Banberg should try outlawing murder.
all the thugs have guns in NYC or could get them regardless of the paperwork law abiding folks have to do to get a weapon
gun control does not work, bad guys will have guns regardless
The most cogent, sound and convincing discussion of the utility – and futility – of gun control in protecting the public from gun crimes appears in the widely despised (among YWN commenters) New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/26/opinion/brooks-the-killing-chain.html?smid=pl-share
The article is by David Brooks, a conservative New York Times columnist and was published on March 25, 2013. I have not made up my mind about whether we should give up on gun control, but he makes an excellent case that further gun control will not have a significant effect on murder or other gun-crime rates. And he makes his case with facts, not sarcasm or slogans.
