"5 Facts About Guns, Schools, And Violence: What every legislator -- and citizen -- needs to know"
"5 Facts About Guns, Schools, And Violence: What every legislator -- and citizen -- needs to know" is a short (two and a half minutes), timely and well-done new video from ReasonTV.
It provides an excellent response to this rush to new infringements on gun ownership.
The video makes some crucial arguments too often ignored by both sides of this contentious issue. And Reason's website provides links to all data cited and further resources for learning more.
Among the video's key points:
* Violent crime -- including violent crime using guns -- has dropped massively over the past 20 years.
* Mass shootings have not increased in recent years.
* Schools are actually getting safer, not more dangerous.
* Bans on so-called "assault weapons" are ineffective.
* Too many laws in recent years -- the Patriot Act, the war in Iraq, the TARP bailouts -- have been passed motivated by emotion and ideology, not factual information. We have all suffered as a result.
This is a great video to share with friends. It is reasonable, thought-provoking, and short enough to share effectively on social networks.
