Gun Control — Big Loser? (DUH!)

Here's John Lott's editorial column on the National Academy of Sciences omnibus report on gun control efforts in the U.S.:

"Based on 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, a survey that covered 80 different gun-control measures and some of its own empirical work, the panel couldn't identify a single gun-control regulation that reduced violent crime, suicide or accidents. From the assault-weapons ban to the Brady Act to one-gun-a-month restrictions to gun locks, nothing worked."

Nothing worked...well, there's a surprise!
