But gun control works...doesn't it?

The Berkshire Eagle

In 1998, Chapter 180 of the Acts of 1998, reputed to be the "worst gun laws in the nation", were passed. During the 10 years since passage, there has been an 84 percent drop in licensed gun ownership from 1,500,000 to around 240,000. During the same period, Wallace cited crime statistics which indicated that there was a 67 percent increase in firearm related homicides, 236 percent increase in assault related hospital discharges, 331 percent increase in firearm related Emergency Room visits and 590 percent increase in gun related outpatient observations.

I have an idea that James Wallace, Executive Director of the Gun Owners Action League, is wasting his time. Gun Control advocates got exactly what they intended in the People's Republic of Massachusetts: an 84% reduction in legal gun ownership. They won't be satisfied until the number is 100% and they're not about to let anyone reverse that "success story"?.
