By now you’ve heard the narrative so often, you probably have it memorized: Guns cause crime. More regulation and layers of laws are the go-to “solutions” after every tragedy. But does it work?
The data says no. In fact, the violent crime rate in America has dropped dramatically since 1990 even while gun ownership and concealed carry permits surged. Now, yet another key data point suggests that “common sense gun laws” may not make so much “sense” after all.
As Breitbart News journalist AWR Hawkins recently pointed out, a dozen states now allowed “permitless carry,” which means that any law-abiding citizen can carry a concealed handgun without an additional license.
Letting Americans exercise the Second Amendment without state permission? The horrors! If you bought into liberal anti-gun narratives, the only possible result is Wild West lawlessness and people shooting their grandmothers.
No. Actually, violent crime is taking a nosedive.
