"BELLEVUE, WA - The Second Amendment Foundation today said a new report by
criminologists Prof. Don Kates of the United States and Prof. Gary Mauser of
Canada that shows the rate of firearms ownership is irrelevant to the
homicide and violent crime rate should be required reading, especially for
reporters, editorial writers and elected representatives.
Appearing in the current issue of the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy
(pages 649-694), the Kates/Mauser report entitled "Would Banning Firearms
Reduce Murder and Suicide? A Review of International Evidence" is a detailed
look at gun ownership and how it does not relate to the incidence of murder
and violence. They conclude that "nations with very stringent anti-gun laws
generally have substantially higher murder rates than those which allow
guns."
"The Kates/Mauser research strips bare the claims by gun control proponents
that America is more dangerous than other countries because of our right to
keep and bear arms," said SAF founder Alan M. Gottlieb. "What these two
seasoned researchers have revealed is that some of the most violent
countries in Europe are those with the most stringent gun laws. It seems
hardly a coincidence that here in America, the highest crime rates are in
places with strict gun control policies, such as Chicago and Washington,
D.C. However, in areas here and abroad with high rates of gun ownership
violent crime rates are lower."
Never read anything so stupid

If you need some examples of extreme ignorance and lack of elementary
knowledge
"Poland and neighboring Slovenia have exactly the same murder rate,
though Slovenia has over triple the gun ownership per capita".
As some guys here are not very familiar with European geography - it
is a long drive from Poland to Slovenia.
