This article puts England's approach and situation in a new perspective. New York though has always been a special case because it has always been the teeming point of entry to this country for so long. Not to blame it on the ever-changing waves of immigration but just to point out that NYC has always been in flux, and flux generates stress which generates...
If you ever read anything about the gangs of NY (Coming Soon to a Theater Near You!) you'll know something about violence. The explosion of violence in other American cities can only be catalogued in a work of of much greater length (loss of manufacturing jobs, abandonment of city centers, corrupt local governments, etc etc). A fascinating study but completely different than what happened in England.
Thanks for post.

Another Thomas Sowell bull's-eye! Dr. Sowell is the most consistently rational and honest commentator in America. He follows the data, regardless of whether or not it supports his convictions. He never alters or denigrates the data to preserve his convictions. How many soft-scientists in this country can say as much?

Not a bad pun, either.

American zealots for the Brady bill say nothing about the fact that the man who shot James Brady and tried to assassinate President Reagan has been out walking the streets on furlough.

Holy cow...I forgot all about Hinckley!

Hinckley -- who attempted to kill Reagan as a way of impressing Jodie Foster -- is one of the triumvirate that has spoiled, once and for all, the concept of celebrities answering their own fan mail. The other two are Arthur Jackson (who nearly fatally stabbed Theresa Saldana as she walked outside her house to her car) and Robert James Bardo (stabbed Rebecca Schaeffer at her front door).

The grandest irony is that Hinckley almost certainly was wasting his time with Foster. The more we observe her lifestyle, the more clear it is that there wasn't the faintest possibility she would ever have been interested in him, if you know what I mean and I think you do.

Senate Document 2807, entitled "The Right to Keep and Bear Arms", is the 1984 report of the Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the constitution. The purpose of the committee was to determine the Founders' reasons for creating the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

All patriots should be familiar with this document. It has not been distributed in the media in this country for reasons which will become obvious to you upon reading it. I have only linked to the report because of its length. However, there is a short introduction and summary written by Committee Chairman Senator Orrin Hatch.
