Cime did not fall in England after handguns were banned in January 1997. Quite the contrary, crime rose sharply. Yet, serious violent crime rates from 1997 to 2002 averaged 29 percent higher than 1996; robbery was 24 percent higher; murders 27 percent higher. Before the law, armed robberies had fallen by 50 percent from 1993 to 1997, but as soon as handguns were banned, the robbery rate shot back up, almost back to their 1993 levels.

I just love Fox News, I can only stand to watch CNN about five Minutes if that long.
CNN seems to give both sides of this issue consistantly and fairly
CNN seems to give both sides of this issue consistantly and fairly

though given Jim March's recent problems with him, i doubt that he will.
sorry, but where did I say that you called him a fraud?
as Jim March has been finding out, John Lott is nothing more than a charlatan
