Gun data is just too easy to manipulate tbh. What if a city has average homicide rates, yet has no CNC laws. Would the rate be higher or lower if CNC laws were applicable? What if a city has a high murder rate (Chicago) but still allows for CNC, would it be lower if CNC wasn't allowed? What if a city has really restrictive CNC laws (New York City) but still has high homicide and rape rates, would it be lower if CNC was allowed? Sorting through the data isn't really possible and coming to conclusions based on data from the 80's and 90's is suspect at best. The overt anti-NRA angle in this article was a little too much for me as well. I don't own guns, and have lived in several CNC cities and have lived with several people who had CNC permits and who carried frequently. I'm not pro gun, but I fully support those people who do own them. This article basically states that many of the established ideas that gun owners have are really myths and the only way to reduce crime is to reduce the number of guns. My only retort to that argument is this: It's completely ILLEGAL to even own guns in Mexico, so how's that been going for them????
