Gun control in the United States

Does gun control reduce crime? -Emphatically no. Not once has it ever do.

The following are some studies that can be researched yourself, on the Internet that the fact that document never reduced crime gun control.

New Jersey - New Jersey in 1996 adopted, what as the strictest gun laws in the United States be. Two years later the murder rate was about 46% and their robbery rate roughly doubled.

Tough gun laws passed Hawaii Hawaii - in the year of 1968. At the time of her murder legislation she had 2.4 per 100,000 per year. Nine years later, their murder rate was tripled to 7.2 per 100,000.

Washington, DC - in the year of 1976, they crossed an important weapon tax laws. You have even heard people the possession of weapons in their homes. Their murder rate increased by 134% while the United States for murder dropped 2%.

New York - you have some of the strictest gun laws in the world. All sales of any type of weapon are limited and strictly controlled. 20% of all robberies in the United States in New York City committed and they have not anywhere close to 20% of the population. This is what happens when a certain population is unlikely, the criminals that know not in a position to defend themselves.

Chicago, has New York, Detroit and Washington, DC-performed each of these cities to a virtual ban on private property of weapons. Washington DC are currently fighting laws in the courts of appeal. These four cities have 20% of the homicides in the United States but they make only 6% of the population of the United States. This means that restrictive gun laws will lead to a tripling of the murder rate. Someone will say wait, the population in these areas is, why the murder rate is so high. We can thin in Arlington, Virginia, which is a town across in Washington DC with meaningful arms Act breach, by the Potomac River so that the population should be based on not that look different. Their murder rate is 10% of Washington DC (7.0 murders per 100,000 people compared to 77,8 murders per 100,000 people in Washington DC). We can look like also to Virginia Beach, Virginia, a nearby city of 400,000. Easy access to firearms made sensible gun laws and their murder rate is 4.1 per 100,000.

Other non-restrictive gun laws have impact on crime - law abiding is in a given year in the United States citizens kills 2,000 to 3,000 criminals. You have also carried more 9,000 to 17,000 criminals in the year. This is to reduce the burden of violent must the Government arrest, imprison, to pursue and to imprison. Also sends a criminals would be a strong signal to the other. Criminals armed far more concerned about an encounter with one act of revenge as a COP. The police are most likely to polite to ask the criminal, their weapon to make and submit. Of the public in fear to protect himself and his family will be much more vulnerable, for firing his weapon as a policeman. Criminals ' biggest fear is led to an armed victim is, when to commit a crime. This was serious criminals from 10 States on a study from 1874. In this study, 38% of these criminals were bombarded the at least a time that she was away, frightened or wounded by an armed victim. Only 1% of the time have criminals take a gun away from a victim, but 10% of police officers who are shot are shot at their own game. The police are slow to shoot and the criminals know this and therefore are more afraid of an armed citizen. Private citizens to kill three times as many criminals, as do the police. Remember when someone is attacked, the police will probably just take your home, a report not to confront the criminals, or you robbing you. It is the citizens of all the help and support of weapons needs to survive the criminal encounter.

Why Governments try to gun control? -Fear! You're afraid to lose control over the population. The prefect State of affairs for a police state is the confiscation of all firearms in private hands. Then is the possibility of a fall of the Government is reduced by 99.9%. You want never partial gun controls such as only machine guns or "attack type weapons" are banned. You want all weapons in private hands disappeared. The partially gun control is the salami. You keep away cutting a slice, until nothing is left. The only reason for arms control is to make room for a totalitarian State, nothing else. At some point are
