[QUOTE="OldWiseGuy, post: 62311974, member: 139156"] This from CBS news last evening. The previously 'hidden' reason why New York City's murder rate is so much lower than Chicago's (it use to be the other way around) is because New York imposes minimum sentences for crimes involving guns i.e. 3 to 5 years mandatory. This says two important things: That incarcerating criminals for a long time reduces gun violence. That gun laws don't prevent criminals from obtaining, possessing, and using guns for criminal purposes. Chicago on the other hand imposes relatively light jail terms or probation for the same offenses. [/QUOTE]
