Yet another study that links strong gun control laws with fewer homicides. Surprise!!!

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/834856

From the article:

"This is a clear example of an application of the principle of justice and fairness. We can do something to have a benefit to the whole of society," Dr Ferreres said. "That benefit to the whole of society is fewer injuries, less disability, fewer dead people, and, of course, at the end of the day, lower hospital costs."

The National Rifle Association did not respond to a request for comment from Medscape Medical News."

They would be leading the fight for strong gun control laws. They could make sure that there is a balance between people still having the right to have guns and making sure violent people don't get them and that safety is stressed a whole lot more.
