I couldn't believe this when I read it!
Yesterday, we saw the report about gunshot wounds way way down. Now this:
"Jon Vernick, a professor and associate director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research in Baltimore, said it's too early to credit one of any number of credible reasons for the downward trend."
"... factors include tougher sentencing, aggressive policing, the Brady gun control law and various concealed weapons laws, Vernick said." |

ABOUT TIME!!
"The slim, sleekly produced volumes with full-color ads for sneakers and gangsta rappers are aimed at young black men, especially those in prison.
Pages are full of words like "bitch" and "ho," and their heroes hit and kill people almost with impunity.
"But even though they are sponsored in part by successful black actor and producer Wesley Snipes, the new series of black pulp fiction novels has become a subject of boycott and criticism in the African American community." |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. � James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
