Gun Control Reduces Crime?
Great video, couldn't agree more. This fact has been known for 200+ years.............
‘‘Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.’’

I've only had one close encounter - used to drive a limo in LA, a suspicious man came towards the car in a parking lot as the patrons of the limo were inside a convience store....I was standing outside stretching my legs with the door open... a few words were exchanged as I just tried to convince the man that I was working and to leave me alone....he kept coming my way...picking up his pace....I reached into the door pocket, and he sprouted wings and was gone.... :F1: never even showed what I was reaching for....turned out limo drivers in the city had defended themselves a few times in weeks prior and I used that to my advantage...didn't have a gun in the door on that run, but did afterwards....
