March 25,1982 is when Kennesaw passed a law requiring all heads of house hold to have at least one gun in their home.It was followed by a dramatic drop in crime.This was in response to Marton Grove,IL passing a law that banned handgun ownership and the crime rate increased afterward.
Why is the media not zeroing in on Kennesaw.This is hard evidence that an armed citizenry is the best way to fight crime.
Also note that both of these towns are roughly the same size and have the same population.So the number of people can't be used against Kennesaw.I'm not saying we should have mandatory gun ownership nation wide,you also have the right not to bear armes.But I do think strict gun control is not the way to go either.
Most would think a pro-gun nut like myself would use the lenient gun laws in Switzerland as an example,but I think its best to use a place in my own country as one.
I also don't see evidence that gun control lowers crime. Do you agree?
