Guns Prevent Crimes, But Mainstream Media Fails to Pick up on Story

Kudos to John Wangsgaard who wrote to The Salt Lake City Tribune for bringing attention to what the rest of the mainstream media seems not to care about; that being that guns in the home can prevent crimes. He writes:

“In this country, even home invasions occur less frequently than in many other countries because criminals worry that the potential victim might be armed. According to www.dailymail.co.uk, the violent crime rate per 100,000 residents is much higher in the United Kingdom (2,034), Australia (1,677) and even Canada (935) than in the United States (466).”
