USA –

This study, now almost a quarter of a century old, is treated as the last word on the subject, without any recognition of its methodological errors or of the significant reductions in violence that have occurred in the years since.

What all of this indicates is that those of us who support gun rights have work to do in making the case to the public at large for the rights and benefits of gun ownership.

We have the good fortune of Congress and the courts leaning toward our side at the moment, but that’s not a luxury that we can rely on always. We also need public opinion—not because rights are based on those, but because the law indirectly is.
