Brian Boston Offers Take on Gun Control for Helium

In writing for Helium, author Brian Boston takes an interesting look at gun control, and for once here is an editorial that isn’t filled with liberal hot air. Boston offers this thought:

“While I can’t deny that guns play a role in violence, it doesn’t explain why crime rates in most countries goes up when they begin clamping down on gun control.”

This is a fact that many in the mainstream media simply ignore or down play. The truth is that crime and guns are related, but recent evidence has shown that guns can actually make crime go down.

Criminals do not give up their guns when there are gun bans, and criminals may second guess taking part in some criminal activities. For example, it will be interesting to see if home invasions and break ins go down in Chicago in the months to come? Something tells us they just might.
