John Lott has a brilliant opinion piece at Philly.com. It gets right to the point in that gun control generally isn’t a means to an end in the War Against Murder. More gun control laws place a more significant burden on law abiding citizens than it does to the criminal element. If criminals want guns, they get them regardless of the channel’s legality. This seems to be one thing that escapes those who beg, cry, and stomp feet for more gun control.
