Crime and Guns

Florida has no state law restricting assault weapons or rapid-fire ammunition magazines. Florida also does not require background checks at gun shows, does not require child-safety locks to be sold with guns, does not have any handgun safety standards to limit Saturday night specials and even forces police to let people carry hidden handguns in public."
Naturally, the anti-gun groups rushed to claim that tourists should not go there because they would most likely be shot by the lawlessness sure to result. Well, the Palm Beach Post just reported the crime rate in Florida is at an all-time low. Governor Bush attributed some of that to the gun laws.
Meanwhile, there is the report from Washington, D. C. that a crime emergency has been declared in that area and maybe it is not a coincidence that D.C. has the most strict gun laws in the nation. Of course, liberals find this concept impossible to comprehend and accept. It is the same phenomenon as lowering taxes raises revenues. They don't get it and evidently never will.
