Study Shows Gun Laws Don't Matter, Race Does | Frontpage Mag

Studies have shown the prevelence of violence in Single Parent homes headed by Women, especially women of color. This should not be of any particularly News worthy.

Is it color or poverty and despair? Violence always spikes in the summer and here in my town I read about at least one shooting each day.

I attempted to find the source of the statistics, but I recall that the passage of the Sullivan Act in New York City in 1911 essentially made the possession of a firearm to be a misdemeanor, and the carrying of one to be a felony. London was about the same size as New York City, but had passed no such laws. Nine years after the passage of the Sullivan Act, in 1920, New York City still had strikingly more gun deaths than London (where firearms possession was legal, at the time).

Moral of the story: New Yorkers liked to shoot each other more than Londoners.
