Interesting Data

This is interesting data from the latest McLaughlin & Associates survey of likely v**ers for the Crime Prevention Research Center. It found that the people who have the most say over making gun laws know less than the average American about guns and violent crime.

For example, only 7.9% of violent crimes involve guns. But the average Democrat estimates that the number is 56.9% (Republicans were slightly less wrong at 37%). Among the highest over-estimators were those who make over $250,000 a year (they guessed 56.1%) and people who work for the government (51%.)
Interestingly, when asked to choose the best of three methods for dealing with violent crime – more gun control laws, stricter enforcement of current gun laws, or have police focus on arresting violent criminals – only 8% wanted more gun control laws. Fifteen percent wanted stricter enforcement of existing gun laws, and a whopping 71% said the best way to fight violent crime was to arrest violent criminals. That's the exact opposite of the tactics "progressive" DA's in blue cities are using.
I think this is another reason why Bill Buckley said he’d rather be governed by the first 500 names in the Boston phone book than by the faculty of Harvard.
