Gun Permit Holders Substantially More Law Abiding
The other day, the New York Times published a story with data that demonstrates that gun permit holders in North Carolina are 20x less likely to commit a felony than the average American [not entirely sure the math is right here, but the crime rate among permit holders is certainly lower than the average]. Of course, the Times readership does not want to hear that, since it does not fit their world view. So the Times, ever sensitive to its readership's needs, writes the article as a scare story about why we need tighter gun control.
