This article is totally confusing. "The Law Center ranks it as one of the nation's worst for gun control, behind states like California and New York that have their own bans on most assault weapons." But then immediately after it says that the gun bans work. Huh?? It also states that violent crime is down since the 1994 gun ban, but fails to note that that ban has long since ended. It then lumps gang related shootings and stabbings together. So will a gun ban lower gang related stabbings? I am surprised that this article was allowed to be printed. It only weakens the pro gun ban stance in my opinion. On the other hand, maybe that was the point.
