People are bringing up the AWB quote because the article's message comes off as:
"People, stop acting on emotion and rhetoric. Open your eyes and look at real statistics. Feel good and knee-jerk gun laws simply don't work in curbing violence... oh, except for those common sense assault weapons bans- statistics be damned, we all just know the streets would obviously run red without them".
He puts forth a good point, and then doesn't bother to apply it to his obvious (though for the sake of kid gloves- naive) prejudice.
I salute his gun law/crime "awakening", but maybe he needs some stronger coffee- he still seems a bit groggy there.
