News Flash: Crime Control Works

Police in Lansing, Michigan are attributing a drop in "gun crime" to the federal government's initiative to prosecute violators and lengthen prison sentences for those convicted.

Who would've thought?

Putting perpetrators behind bars cuts crime. Brilliant.

Perhaps Inspector Fox of Philadelphia, who said of a vicious double murder in his jurisdiction,

"It's a clear indication that there's too many guns on the street," Fox said. "(Police) get some guns off the street, only to be faced with the same people back on the street within days or weeks to commit the same type of crime over and over again."

, should get together with the good folks of Lansing and do a little "intelligence sharing."
