Constipated Thinking In Arizona

[casingpoint]

The National Academy of Sciences reviewed hundreds of studies and found not "a single gun regulation that reduced violent crime or murder."

Not a lot of that for this thread. Just another bum post headed for the IN basket of obscurity in cyberspace. Thanks anyway for the boost, andy.

Hold your horses cyberboy! Casingpoint I'm reading on it. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Andy for posting that. I got up to page 26, and had to quit. It's quite a scholarly work, and some of it's not easy reading for these tired old eyes. Kinda like Texas gun laws. But I find it interesting.

Casingpoint, remember a whole lot of folks are at the annual TSRA Convention Dinner tonight in Mesquite. I wish them well, and I wish I could have made it.

I imagine that your thread will get its fair share of reading and then some.

Thanks, Andy. I had a quick look for it, but failed to find it.

Yes, it's quite a piece. With a very interesting examination of infringement/regulations and judicial scrutiny beginning on page 292. It outlines a real-life Catch 22.

In this article, SCOTUS is predestined to evaluate the Second Amendment in the MacDonald case as a fundamental right subject to strict scrutiny. States will then have to document that individual firearms restrictions actually further a valid governmental interest.

But despite all the studies to date, remains no demonstrated link between gun restriction and gun crime.

In fact, just the opposite is held:

Many thanks again to Andy for posting the link.
