Obligatory - More guns, less crime

This is a few days old, but kinda newsworthy. Christian Science Monitor has a piece on new FBI data for the first half of 2009:

After several years of crime rates holding relatively steady, the FBI is reporting that violent crimes – including gun crimes – dropped dramatically in the first six months of 2009, with murder down 10 percent across the US as a whole.

Of course, the usual players are saying that guns make no difference one way or another, and maybe they don't.

What's for sure is that more guns don't equal more crime ...... more people willing to do criminal things equals more crime.
