| #6 John Lott has settled the science on this one. More guns = less crime. That said, there is almost certainly going to be a bottom to this curve where additional guns produce fewer and fewer benefits. |

| #3 This is nothing, more or less, than a refutation of the gun-grabbers arguments that guns cause crime. These two things may have none, little, some or a lot of a causitive relation. Or this could be a case of correlation with no causation, Kinda like my getting up and the sun rising, BUT, this totally disproves the idea that there is a causitive relation between increasing gun ownership and increasing crime. No, I'm not so naive to believe that this will slow them down one iota. |

| #2 I thought a major cause of the drop in violent crime was the significant drop in the number of poorly educated, unmarried males aged 15-30? |

| #1 Those two things are unrelated, however. They are both caused by global climate modification. Manmade modifications. |
