After finishing my research paper on gun control, i realized that theyre many gun control laws out there that actually work. take for example Florida's 10-20-life program.
"The results under 10-20-LIFE are impressive. In only six years, from 1998-2004, 10-20-LIFE has helped drive down violent gun crime rates 30 percent statewide (see Firearm Involved Violent Crimes). During the 10-20-LIFE era, armed criminals robbed a total of 10,567 fewer people and killed a total 380 fewer than they would have if these crime numbers had remained at 1998 levels. These crime decreases occurred even as Florida's population increased over 2.5 million (16.8 percent) between 1998 and 2004. Punishing criminals who use guns is making our state safer."
I don't understand why more states don't adopt or create a law such as this one. It seems to me that it works well! heres the link.....
