There are a number of reasons this screams out to be published. First, there is a paroled con seeking to campaign for gun control. The comments I've seen allege he was in for a violent offense, not sure about that, but ....
The stats that the gun control advocate produced were shocking. The article quotes Ron Pinciaro the Executive Director of "Connecticut Against Gun Violence." A study conducted by this group revelead that "91 percent of the guns used in crimes were in the possession of persons not legally allowed to own them, including felons, minors, those involuntarily committed to mental institutions or those under protective or restraining orders."
So what help are the gun control laws? The guns used in crimes are possessed in violation of the gun control laws, or in other words, the criminals break the law to get the guns, while the law abiders don't. Does this just prove that point?
