So Much For Gun Control
The Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Ownership has released rankings on gun control in the various states, and the results are interesting when correlated violent crime statistics.
Brady has issued grades for states. These grades are gun control rankings from A to F, with an A indicating more gun control and more in line with Brady’s goals. Strangely, most of the increase in violent crime occurred in states that earned higher Brady rankings.
Obviously you cannot conclude from this that gun control is a cause of increases in violent crime, but certainly this shows that gun control is rather ineffective in controlling violent crime. Perhaps the Centers for Disease Control was right when one of its studies showed no correlation between gun control and violent crime rates.
Not that the gun control nuts are about to let things like “truth” and “reality” get in their way.
