    Didn't see this post. Of course I want crime to go down. Who doesn't. This isn't the way though. Far from it.

    Good. Too easy to lose sight of what is really important.

    Exactly, and that reminds me.. personally, I think the new laws in NY are a good idea, but I dont think they'll have much an impact on crime stats. What we can hope for is that if a mass shooting occurs similar to one in CT, perhaps the shooter will have less means to carry out his plans. Many gun advocates say that no matter what, crazy determined people will find a way to carry out their plans of mass killing...so if they're going to do it anyways, why not try to limit what they can get their hands on? But if the exact same things happens 6 months from now, and the shooter only has a smaller magazine, maybe half the people die, or maybe we save one single life...then its worth it, but we may never be able to tell if the new laws made the difference or not.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    I'm glad !!!

    At least the families of the victims can see that something is being done even if people feel it's nothing to be howling about ..
    good to see the voice of reason
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    They were in such a hurry to pass the law that they forgot to exempt the police. Doh!
