B-Man Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Firearms, Kings, and the Emergence of the Peaceful Life Over at the Adam Smith Institute, Kate Andrews offers up a provocative post. “Make Britain safer,” she cries. ”Bring back handguns.” In proposing this course, Andrews is relying heavily on a study that purports to show that the introduction of firearms into the civilized world over the past eight hundred years has been instrumental in reducing violent crime. The bottom line: The paper, “Firearms and the Decline of Violence in Europe: 1200-2010”, finds that the sudden historical drops in crime are consistent with the “invention and proliferation of compact, concealable, ready-to-use firearms” which “caused potential assailants to recalculate the probability of a successful assault and seek alternatives to violence.” And unlike the civilizing process theory, Moody’s firearms theory remains consistent with the evidence and breaks in violence. As concealed weapons became more available historically, crime rate dropped radically This chart represents the drop in homicides specifically: Chart at link:.....{snip} Again: This is not to say that “more guns equals less crime.” But it is to refute once again the nonsensical suggestion that there is a hard link between the number of a firearms in a given country and the instances of criminal abuse. As the Bureau of Justice Statistics recorded in 2013, “the U.S. homicide rate declined by nearly half (49%), from 9.3 homicides per 100,000 U.S. residents in 1992 to 4.7 in 2011, falling to the lowest level since 1963.” In roughly that time, it is estimated that the number of privately owned firearms in the United States has gone from 192 million (in 1994) to 310 million (in 2012), and that the laws governing their use have been loosened in almost every state. Did they increase cause the decline in crime? I honestly have no idea. But it certainly didn’t bring about an increase, either. Perhaps, ’twas ever thus.

I own 3 guns I still feel that there is no guarantee. the #1 rule of owning a gun. Shoot to Kill if that isn't your # 1 goal then you fail from the get go. No one said "carrying guarantees success." The only guarantee in those situations is when you have no way to defend yourself. You're guaranteed to be a victim. Many people choose that avenue based on their beliefs or level of indoctrination. I don't care about police success. The vast majority of police officers in this world lack the necessary training to deal with a real world shooting situation. That's not news. The best guarantee that Police Departments nation-wide can give you is they won't be anywhere around if you're in a victim situation. Statistically that can't be debated. Concealed carry isn't going to get rid of violent crime. As long as there are people in the world willing to commit violent crimes, the rights of the individual to defend themselves in a commensurate manner is fundamental and non-negotiable.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) are you guys that dumb or do you just love to troll? One shot one kill? Nice knowing ya. Take a course or two before you say dumb ****. Oh and by the way was at the range last weekend and the range master said cops are typically some of the worst shots. No you have it wrong it's nice knowing you, because if you can't keep the other gunman from shooting back you have failed!!! --- and what do they tell you at the range? Keep your gun unloaded until you are ready to use it. Can I ask .. do you practice good gun safety? Edited February 25, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever
