Great post on Xkot.net. "A note to Americans who point to the UK's gun laws as a way to end violent crime: gun laws create defenseless victims while criminals remain armed." He's absolutely right. I say, the more guns the better. If everyone was armed, I think there'd be a lot less crime.
Everyone should read The Seven Myths of Gun Control, by Richard Poe. I haven't read it yet, but More Guns, Less Crime is also supposed to be a superb book, and contains tons of data supporting the claim of its title. Here is an excellent interview with John Lott, the book's author. Finally, here are both books at Amazon.
