John R. Lott Jr. on Gun Control on National Review Online

I'm aghast! John Lott states, in rather convincing fashion, that banning guns increases crime! I'm so totally surprised!

Using the examples of England and Austrailia, and how violent crime rose rapidly after they banned many forms of gun ownership, Lott points out to our dainty neighbors to the north that instead of blaming the United States for its gun crime, maybe Canada should take a good hard look at its own policies.

Check out Michael Bane's blog, entertaining read on this topic as well....
