**THE SKY IS GREEN.** Anyways, I’m not for gun control, but statistically, as in if you look at facts and data, it works. ![http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/ncsucr2.gif](http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/ncsucr2.gif) That’s from the US Department of Justice. The Brady Bill was enacted in 1993. I can think of a great argument against the correlation between the brady bill and a drop in violent crime, but lets see if anyone else can think with their brain instead of their inbox. ---

Ah nevermind, my lunch break is too short and I need to focus on my studying. Big drop in violent crime shortly after the Brady Bill. There was also a big surge in the economy, you know when Reaganomics finally took hold. ;). So does gun control = less violent crime or does less poor people = less violent crime? ![http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8362&stc=1&d=1234806215](http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8362&stc=1&d=1234806215) ---

I have a question: When a government bans guns, do they pay you for them? I mean besides the fact that they are taking my possessions, which I have a right to own, do they have to re-pay you for them? I know guys that have literally 10’s of thousands invested into their guns. It would suck if it went poof.
