    Suicides by guns went down. Suicides by rope went up. Suicide trends remained the same as well as violent deaths.

    Actually, in his testimony before the Australian senate, John Lott, using U. Sydney's often cited own data from the anti-gun crowd (Lott looked at crime trends BEFORE as well as after their gun confiscation) showed that there was neither a jump, nor a decline, in the gradual pre-existing crime trends (murder, suicide) after the gun confiscation. What he found, in other words, is that millions of dollars of citizen's private property was forcibly confiscated by their own government and it accomplished absolutely NOTHING! Nothing that is except make a bunch of incompetent liberals feel good about themselves.

    Exactly. Methods changed. Nothing else did. This is why they focus on "gun violence". The U.K. Is talking about the need to ban pointy knives.

    Tell me how that makes any sense? Contrary to the liberal BS, gun ownership in America is down about 40% in the past 30 years while the gun crime rate has exploded. How could anybody think that limiting availability of guns will bring about a reduction in gun crime?

    Bum link, sorry but the numbers are still right.

    Read John Lott's new book. He addresses this and it is an utter lie buy the left and media(one in the same).
