As the nation debates whether more guns or fewer can prevent tragedies like the Virginia Tech Massacre, a notable anniversary passed last month in a Georgia town that witnessed a dramatic plunge in crime and violence after mandating residents to own firearms.

In March 1982, 25 years ago, the small town of Kennesaw – responding to a handgun ban in Morton Grove, Ill. – unanimously passed an ordinance requiring each head of household to own and maintain a gun. Since then, despite dire predictions of “Wild West” showdowns and increased violence and accidents, not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender.

The crime rate initially plummeted for several years after the passage of the ordinance, with the 2005 per capita crime rate actually significantly lower than it was in 1981, the year before passage of the law.

Rahmbastard's gun control law works so well, too.

That was all a leftover from the Daley administration, but Mayor "Tiny Dancer" is a gun-grabber too.

Rahmbasterd could have stopped it immediately if he wanted to.

So much for gun control.

Of course they will never admit that the gun control that  Kennesaw, Ga. uses actually works better than their type of Gun Control.

Of course they will never admit that the gun control that  Kennesaw, Ga. uses actually works better than their type of Gun Control.

Between 1982 when the gun law in Kennesaw was enacted, and 2009, when a shooting took place at a business inside a "gun-free zone" (within 1000 feet of a school) where three people were killed, there had been exactly ONE murder.

ONE.  Think about that.

In Chicago, between those same years, about 20,000 murders occurred.  TWENTY THOUSAND.  Granted, Chicago has a much larger population (2.7 million) versus Kennesaw (about 30,000) but even when you multiply by 100, Kennesaw's murder rate is less than 1/2 of 1 percent of Chicago's murder rate.

Argue that liberals.  I dare you to even try.
