Report: Gun Bans Result in Higher Murder Rates
2nd December 2013
The report looks at the January 1997 “handgun ban in England and Wales” to substantiate this.
Between the time of that ban and 2012, the “homicides rates” rose, exponentially at times, and fell, but they only fell to a level lower than 1996 rates in one year–and that was 2010. Studies that claim “success” for the handgun ban are frequently an outworking of crime numbers that have been manipulated to make the ban look effective.
My, what a surprise! Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
