Brief History of gun control

I don't know if this has been posted or not. I didn't put this on the political forum because I truly believe that this is apolitical. Maybe the following personal observations put it into the realm of politics. If so, my apologies to the Mods. I've read a lot of reports both pro and con. I believe in the concept of knowing what your enemy is thinking - it makes your strategy more relevent. This report really picks the fly crap out of the pepper. What it does say is that gun control not only does not work, it makes things much worse where ever it is instituted. Contrary to popular belief, many of our legislators are not stupid. Dishonest, wiley, canny, devious and other adjectives, perhaps. But not stupid. This gives pause to examine just why so many are adamant about taking away our guns. I have my opinions. I'll leave you up to your own conjecture.

If those who wish to take guns away from law abiding citizens would read this report, it might add a little perspective to their mindset (although "mind" is a waste with many politicians). Particularly telling are the statistics about murders committed with rifles. Also the charts which show decline in violent crimes when gun bans are lifted. I realize I'm preaching to 1) the choir and 2) in many cases the blissfully ignorant. Nonetheless, here's an very interesting and unbiased report:
