 | | John Lott, claim to have discovered a positive correlation between gun control legislation and crimes in which criminals confront citizens - that is, increases in the number or strictness of gun control laws are correlated with increases in the number or severity of violent crimes. | | | Guns are of little use as self defense for the typical owner because in incidents where a hostile encounter with an armed criminal occurs, the criminal is usually more experienced and skilled with his/her weapon, also criminals may act in groups | | | In the United States another area of dispute is whether any requirement that firearms be registered constitutes a violation of the Second Amendment by impairing the exercise of that explicitly protected right. |

| | Such low-volume gun dealers have been the target of BATF policymakers recently however, and many have had their licenses revoked for not having a retail location, and have been turned in to local authorities and harassed for violation of zoning laws (see 3.0). | | | All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. | | | People who already commit violent crimes with guns aren't going to be deterred by another law, and are already prohibited by law from possessing guns if previously convicted of a serious crime. |

| | Gun rights advocates claim that gun control laws have not reduced violent crime rates and in fact often lead to more violent crime and all too often to government-sponsored exterminations and that such laws have no effect on the availbility of guns to criminals. | | | Choosing not to challenge a gun control law may have made that the de facto position, but not an official position. | | | Most people don't really care what the Second Amendment means, nor anything else relating to gun laws nor gun owners, all they want is for "something" to be done that actually reduces violent crime rates. |

| | WorldNetDaily: Crime up Down Under |
| | Lott, formerly of the University of Chicago and a gun control analyst who has conducted the most extensive study on the impact of concealed carry laws in the nation's history, the more liberal the right to carry, the less violent crime occurs. | | | In contrast to near-complete bans in Australia and Great Britain, many U.S. states have passed liberal concealed carry laws that allow private citizens to obtain a permit to carry a loaded gun at all times in most public places. | | | Lott, who examined a mass of crime data spanning decades in all 3,200-plus counties in the United States, concluded that the most important factor in the deterrence of violent crimes were increased police presence and longer jail sentences. |

| | In Australia today, police can enter your house and search for guns, copy the hard drive of your computer, seize records, and do it all without a search warrant. | | | Like in Great Britain, crime Down Under has escalated. | | | Consider the politics: There are three major parties in Australian politics: the center right (Liberal Party), the socialist camp (Labor Party) and the ultra-left (Australian Democratic Party) — this last one easily tilted the balance of power toward stringent gun control at the expense of freedom. |

| | Defenders of gun control cite the 1998 decline in homicide as evidence that Australia’s policies are working, while opponents cite the two-year increases in other offenses as evidence that the government has encouraged criminals by disarming law-abiding citizens. | | | That year there were 54 gun homicides, about half as many as in 1996. | | | According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the total number of homicides (with and without guns) also rose, from 350 in 1996 to 360 in 1997, before dropping to 333 in 1998. |
