If someone has I didn't see it and apologize. Once they banned the semi auto's and pump action shotguns crime in general and gun crimes in particular went through the roof after 50 years of steady decline in all crime across the board. The scariest number for me was the home invasion number which rose by 21% immediately after the ban went into effect. The criminals no longer feared breaking into a home even while the occupants were home because most likely they didn't have a gun and the criminals did.
YESSIR!!! And that subject Alone should be an adequate argument for ANY would be Gun Grabber Stephen, what I can't / don't understand....is why those who ARE so vocal and adamant about wanting our Right To Bear taken from us are almost always the ones who live in Gated communities.......Protected by armed individuals!!!!
They just don't want to have to fend for themselves.....that's all there is to it.
