1. When Twenty Minutes Is Forever.
...Five minutes is forever when violence is underway, but 20 minutes --
means that the "first responders" aren't likely to do much more than clean
up the mess. ...
2. Is Hate A Liberal Value?
... "Reporters on my Twitter feed seem to hate the NRA more than anything
else, ever. "...
3. We Don't Deal Well With Crazy People.
...Many mentally ill -- especially men -- wind up in jails, which have
basically taken over from the old state mental hospitals, now shut down. ...
4. Things Aren't Really That Bad.
...Gun ownership is up, but crime is down....
5. The War on Drugs.
...The drug war, is a major driver of violence in America.
When you leave out suicides (which make up more than half of gun deaths)
most actual murders in this country are criminals killing other criminals.

Glenn Harlan Reynolds is professor of law at the University of Tennessee.
另一位女法学教授写的关于英国和澳洲禁枪的文章，今天发表在华尔街日报：
Joyce Lee Malcolm: Two Cautionary Tales of Gun Control

"What to conclude? Strict gun laws in Great Britain and Australia haven't
made their people noticeably safer, nor have they prevented massacres. The
two major countries held up as models for the U.S. don't provide much
evidence that strict gun laws will solve our problems."
Ms. Malcolm, a professor of law at George Mason University Law School, is
the author of several books including "Guns and Violence: The English
Experience," (Harvard, 2002). |
