Can We Reduce Crime?

Yes; but we're not likely to do the things necessary. There are several things we can do to accomplish this, all of which are violently opposed by the liberals. One way is to make it easy for HONEST people to carry guns for self-defense. They did it in Florida, and their crime rate went down precipitously. The liberals "screamed like stuck pigs" and told us Florida would soon be a "wild West" area where people commonly settle minor differences with guns. It didn't happen, but the liberals will never admit it, nor deign to even talk about it They'll simply change the subject. Another way is to SUE THE CRIMINAL. Criminals who get hurt in the commission of a crime have been known too often to sue the victim; some have even won judgments against their victims, thus causing a SECOND crime, for which they won't be punished. But how many times have the VICTIMS of crime sued the criminals, and collected? Not many, I suppose, because they just don't think that way. They should. Liberals would violently oppose this, too: because it is another thing that would prove them wrong and force them to ignore the result. I Googled "victim suing the criminal" and got a lot of "hits," but all I found were talking about criminals suing the VICTIM! Sheesh! ("More Guns, Less Crime",)
