Gun Myths

John Stossel has a piece on ABC's website about Lies, Myths and Downright Stupidity. There was a broadcast of this which I am sorry I missed.

Myth number 3 Gun Control:

A Justice Department study confirmed what the prisoners said. But get this: the felons say that the thing they fear the most is not the police, not time in prison, but, you, another American who might be armed.

It's a reason many states are passing gun un-control. They're allowing citizens to carry guns with them; it's called concealed carry or right to carry. Some women say they're comforted by these laws.

Many people are horrified at the idea of concealed carry laws, and predict mayhem if all states adopt these laws.

But surprise, 36 states already have concealed carry laws, and not one reported an upsurge in gun crime.

Too bad there are not more reporters on TV saying things like this but John has always seemed to stand alone and has taken lots of grief for it.
