Crime in decline, but why?
That's the headline today; Crime in decline, but why? FBI statistics
show that crime has fallen for eight straight years. Experts are not sure why. They have some theories; an aging population, low inflation, and more and smarter policing are some. The one theory that was not mentioned was because of the gains in the number of people across the country with concealed carry permits. This is for those who have argued against me when I have said that there is no support for the theory that crime declines because more people are carrying concealed carry weapons. None of the experts has said this is a reason for the drop in crime and that is because there is no evidence showing that theory has any validity. Crime has dropped everywhere including cities like L.A., where there is no increase in people with CCW permits. So if crime drops and nobody is getting a permit and crime drops where lots of people get permits it's clear that the permits are not changing the statistics. So does anyone still want to try and make the case that crime is down because of the increase in people with CCW permits? Or are you finally willing to admit being wrong? Oh yeah, and that I was right. Hawke |
