While I generally agree with the thesis of the article, I DO have to point out one VERY large logical error.
FTA (and taken verbatim and not out of context):
"Inmates with an arrest record never risked using a gun store or gun show. They got their guns illegally from their friends or family who didn’t have a criminal record. The claim that disarming honest people also disarms criminals simply fails the test."
If the friends and family who didn't have a criminal record were unable to get a gun - i.e. we disarmed the honest people - then they would have been unable to pass it on to their criminal family members or friends - i.e. we would also disarm the criminals. Quite simply put, if NO ONE has a gun, then no one can give it to a criminal.
I do not think this is a GOOD solution. But the author's argument that it wouldn't work is flawed.
