WT: Good morning. I'm not chasing you around -- just interested in the psychology of fact alteration as a function of emotionally based logic. With that said, I hate to agree with you but when you site <<...Yet, NYC has the most stringent gun control laws of any city in U.S. Crime is down, is has nothing to do with concealed weapons. In NYC there is an automatic 1 year prison sentence for anyone with an unlicensed, concealed weapon. Yet, murder is down from 2,200 in 1992 to 600 in 1998. Why? More effective police work, tougher sentencing laws and a general aging of the population.>> you are on target with that final sentence; stop explaining and start negatively reinforcing criminal behavior to produce an avoidance response to antisocial behavior. As you know the Sullivan law has been in place in NYC practically forever, and the alleged crime reduction there suggests that gun ownership and crime are discrete, independent variables -- or did I miss something? I was looking forward to more enlightenment concerning the NVA tactics -- then I thought we might move on to the Afgans as another positive example of gun ownership and the effect upon an invading army. I read in your posts that you carried a weapon in Nam; what was your assignment?
