John Lott on Philadelphia and gun control

Posted by David Hardy · 17 July 2007 10:24 AM

Lott gets an Op-Ed in the Philadelphia Enquirer, "Guns don't kill people, Phila. does."

"In the five years from 2001 to 2006, Philadelphia's murder rate soared more than 36 percent while nationally, the murder rate increased only 2 percent. ...

Why haven't murder rates gone up in the rest of the country? Should Phoenix, the city closest in size to Philadelphia, claim that its murder rate remained virtually unchanged for the last five years because of the supposed lack of new gun control? How should Dallas explain its 24 percent drop in murder?"

The greatest Philadelphia mayor ever, Frank Rizzo once said .... "The streets are safe in Philadelphia, it's only the people who make them unsafe.”
