Read if you get a chance. The most noteworthy thing I think was that the anti side (Including Paul Helmke from the Brady bunch) never suggested that more guns "increase" crime, they just kept saying reductions were caused by other things. Then making up statistics.. Also, they kept pointing out this study that held the "opposite" findings of the Lott studies, when Gary Kleck pointed out that the study did not find out the opposite, but was inconclusive even the moderator said "yeah, it was kind of a Pontius Pilate study"
Anyway, very good read, and I think holds potential talking points for the "shall-issue" debate in Maryland.
