7. He's half right.
In the last couple years, violent crime has gone up, and nonviolent crime has gone down.

See for yourself:

Now, establishing a causal link between the decrease in larceny and other nonviolent crime and the passage of the castle doctrine is a bit more iffy.

9. Not necessary to establish a causal link:
that violent crime has gone up is sufficient to show ... that it hasn't gone down. ;-)

6. Yes, they are recycling the same old mythology about guns that
they learned at the knees of Rush/Sean/Bill.

10. The Barney Fyfes crawl out from the woodwork every time something
like this happens. Wannabe cops call the talk shows to promote the idea of posse justice. It's all bullshit.
