More on the missing mommies...

Betsy Hart writes about the decline of gun control as a political issue.

The principle reason: Gun control has been shown, through careful experimentation, to be a failure. The "assault weapon" ban had no effect on crime rates. No gun control law has ever been shown to reduce crime. Right-to-carry laws, on the other hand, not only failed to produce the predicted daily Wild West shootouts on America's streets, they reduced violent crime rates. Overseas, Britain and Australia did yeoman's work showing just how bad things can get with comprehensive gun control laws. Their rates of violent crime are now twice that of the US. Canada, ever the good neighbor, showed us how expensive gun registration and gun owner licensing really is. Their program has cost them three orders of magnitude more than was originally quoted.

Gun control does not work. This fact has become so obvious that even John "Waffles" Kerry is pretending to support the 2nd Amendment.
