Eivind, You may not be particularly interested in the following, but it IS a good book on the subject of guns/gun control. (from the standpoint of being convincing and straightforward, I think) More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun-Control Laws (Studies in Law and Economics) by John R. Lott ISBN 0226493636 $16.10 (USD) from amazon.com Also, You can also get a copy (several formats) of Crime, Deterrence, and Right-to-Carry Handguns by John R. Lott and David B. Mustard at: http://www.law.uchicago.edu/Publications/Working/41.html > The truth of "the availability of guns increases the chances that they > will be used" I have from personal experience, involving at least two > cases of people not being shot due to the inavailability of usable > guns. > I've had the opposite experience (people not being shot [or beaten or robbed] because concealed weapons WERE present... I guess my results varied? ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
