OT More RTC states, less crime
"privacy.at Anonymous Remailer" wrote in message vacy.at... More RTC states, less crime. The nation`s violent crime rate has decreased every year since 1991 and in 2002 hit a 23-year low. In the same period, 17 states adopted and 13 states improved RTC laws. RTC states have lower violent crime rates, on average: 24% lower total violent crime, 22% lower murder, 37% lower robbery, and 20% lower aggravated assault. The five states with the lowest violent crime rates are RTC states. (Data: FBI) Perhaps the Nazi Fachists that hate the idea of an armed citizen should be forced to wear yellow armbands. Then the criminals will know who to go after and not force us that carry to draw our weapons. ** I'll match my 'restricted' provinces against your RTC states anytime. |

Bogus Crap.
Are you deliberately spreading this lie, or simply (and stupidly) repeating something you've been told? Your argument, (that the less restriction there is on the right to carry firearms the lower the crime rate will be), refutes itself. There are only 2 states in the union with almost unlimited right to carry a concealed weapon. Vermont, and Alaska. You'll like the Vermont statistic: In 2002, Vermont had the second lowest number of violent crimes per 100,000 residents. 106.7 crimes. North Dakota was lower, at only 78.2 violent crimes per 100,000. You won't like the Alaska statistic: In the other state where anybody and everybody can carry a concealed weapon, the violent crime rate is 12th highest in the country. 563 violent crimes per 10,000 population. Violent Crimes are the offenses of murder, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. *All* of the eleven states with greater numbers of violent crime per 10,000 population than Alaska also have RTC laws, except Illinois. They states with higher rates of violent crime than Alaska a South Carolina 822 Florida 770 Maryland 769 New Mexico 739 Tennesee 716 Louisiana 662 Nevada 637 Illinois 620 Delaware 599 California 593 Texas 578 Illinois has no right to carry, and is in the dirty dozen, crime wise. The other three states with no right to carry a Nebraska: 313 Kansas: 376 Wisconsin: 224 While you can establish that the safest state in the union (VT) has almost unlimited right to carry, it is also true that 11 of the 12 most dangerous states have very few restrictions on the right to carry. The states with no RTC are not, as your claim would suggest, unusally high crime areas or automatically less safe than states with a free-for-all handgun policy. Again, look at Alaska. Eleven of the 12 states with the *highest* per capita crime rate have few or no restrictions on RTC. Sources for all numbers in this post: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Reports, 2002. Looks like there's *no* correlation between RTC states and low rates of violent crime. Shove that up your NRA pipe and smoke it. |

OT More RTC states, less crime
Do you take a critical look at anything? Direct quote from your link: ************* I mangled a link yesterday. You can read here the story of Hugh Owens, the Saskatchewan evangelical Christian who was fined $1500 by a Canadian human rights for publishing a newspaper ad ******************* How the hell does "a Canadian human rights" fine anybody for anything? The statement doesn't even make sense, yet it's the keystone on which the entire propaganda piece is built. Try thinking your way through life, not just responding to statements designed to trigger hateful and stereotypical emotions. |
