Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 >>>> " High levels of per capital legal gun ownership? By and large the trend is the opposite from what I've read. " --------->relatedly, michael recently sent me this interview with Lott who did what appears to be the most comprehensive study on the relationship between legal gun ownership and crime rate. he found that counties where gun ownership was legal ( " right-to-carry " laws, specifically) experienced lower crime rates. i have no idea if his data stand up under scrutiny, and haven't seen the data first hand, but this article's worth a read, imo. http://reason.com/0001/fe.js.cold.shtml Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.
