Crime Study: Handguns, not "assault weapons" most used

Post by K.Mooneyham »

The article is about a study done by James Alan Fox, author and criminology professor at Northeastern University. The most telling bit of the article:
“Public discourse is grounded in myth and misunderstanding about the nature of the offense and those who perpetrate it,” he writes in the journal “Homicide Studies.” He added: “Without minimizing the pain and suffering of the hundreds of those who have been victimized in recent attacks, the facts clearly say that there has been no increase in mass shootings and certainly no epidemic.”
Read the entire article for yourself here: http://washingtonexaminer.com/crime-stu ... le/2542118

I posted this because I just read it earlier and I saw the posting about the NM school incident.

Makes no difference to the commies/socialists/traitors/tyrants. This takes logic and reason.
