1086: Thomas Sowell – Assumptions about Gun Laws

When did you ever see any gun control advocate come up with numbers to show that gun control reduces murders? There’s a huge volume of evidence out there. Think of the 50 states, each having all kinds of different gun laws. Think of all the countries around the world with different gun laws. There’s different periods of history when there were different gun laws. There are all kinds of ways they can be compared. And so you have a MOUNTAIN of evidence, if you were looking for evidence.
Instead they simply assume that if you have tighter gun laws you have lower murder rates. And there’s tons of empirical evidence pointing just on the opposite direction. —Thomas SowellDownload Print Quality (7680×7680) 767KB  |  Normal Quality (3840×3840) 682KB
