[TheForge] The most effort for the least results

[Andy Gladish]

This is making me feel old: I remember when "Ban All Handguns" was a very
common headline. When was that, early 70's?
The current dogma (Banning "Assault Rifles" will make the country peaceful)
is so silly- I get that they creep people out, and I get that if it were to
prevent one mass murder it would be a good thing.
What kind of sense does it make to ban the gun that is LEAST LIKELY to be
used in homicide and suicide on any given day (That's according to the FBI,
but hey, what do they know, right?)

Can we at least be honest with each other that banning them would barely
affect murder and suicide rates?
I'm not making this stuff up, look at the FBI Uniform Crime Report.
