· More than 2,400 permit holders were convicted of felonies or misdemeanors, excluding traffic-related crimes.You be the judge of whether to be concerned that 1% of permit holders committed crimes AFTER obtaining their permits. I'm not. The important number is the 237,600 or 99% who haven't committed any crimes. This story is the NYT pushing Mayor Bloomberg's anti-gun agenda and nothing more.

We need to demand the raw numbers. I think it's reprehensible that they included all the non-violent misdemeanors in the totals, trying to make it look much worse than it actually is.
I'd like the raw numbers or at least the sources so I could get it myself.
