Georgia and other states with weak gun laws have more crime. [More]This assumes a cause and effect relationship between citizen disarmament edicts and criminal behavior--and that guns cause crime.
It hasn't happened with the first assumption and can be shown as demonstrably untrue with the second--unless someone's been suppressing the news about those 4 million rampaging NRA members. Although an in-depth analysis of Furious Mike's "Only Ones" might cause me to revise that assessment...
From 1992 to 2008, nearly 2,000 New York Police Department officers were arrested, according to the department’s own annual reports of the Internal Affairs Bureau, an average of 119 a year.
Let's see, with approximately 40,000 full-time and auxiliary officers, can anybody figure out how much more "law-abiding" we who live just fine amidst "loose gun laws" are...?
PolitiFact scammers can take their Truth-O-Meter and throw it at the next reptile who decides he owns them.

Crime rates be damned. Shall Not Be Infringed.
So-called 'PolitiFact' is being used to discredit Republicans, generally.
Being run by the St. Petersburg Times.
