This is so obvious that someone should write a book about it. Oh wait,
someone did already. And yet again, the anti-gun nuts are proven wrong. Not
that facts and statistics will work as a deterrent.
Amid calls nationwide for stricter gun control laws, Virginia is
experiencing a unique trend: the state’s gun-related crime is declining but
firearms sales are increasing.
Firearms sales rose 16 percent to a record 490,119 guns purchased from
licensed gun dealers in 2012, according to sales estimates obtained by the
Richmond Times-Dispatch.
During the same period, major crimes committed with firearms dropped 5
percent to 4,378.
“This appears to be additional evidence that more guns don’t
necessarily lead to more crime,” said Thomas R. Baker, an assistant
professor at Virginia Commonwealth University’s L. Douglas Wilder School of
Government and Public Affairs who specializes in research methods and
criminology theory.
“It’s a quite interesting trend given the current rhetoric about
strengthening gun laws and the presumed effect it would have on violent
crimes,” Baker told the newspaper. “While you can’t conclude from this
that tougher laws wouldn’t reduce crime even more, it really makes you
question if making it harder for law-abiding people to buy a gun would have
any effect on crime.”
It’s not the law-abiding anyone needs to worry about. In fact since 2006,
gun sales have risen 101% while gun-related crimes have declined 28%.
