Crime up again ( but what is omitted)

[Skean Dhude]

Whilst in the US crime has been coming down in the areas where people can freely buy guns. I wonder if there is some conclusion we can draw from that?

Here is one of my favourite quotes.

'Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good. In area after area – crime, education, housing, race relations – the situation has gotten worse after the bright new theories were put into operation. The amazing thing is that this history of failure and disaster has neither discouraged the social engineers nor discredited them.'
