I find it interesting to read some of David Kopel's earlier work in which he
notes that effective crime control, or at least low rates of violent crime,
had very little to do with the levels of gun-control legislation or the
level of gun-ownership in the country under examination...
The deciding factor in each case was found to be social controls.
Thus it is fair to say that while neither of our countries had much in the
way of legislative controls a century ago, both had a fairly high degree of
control in other forms.
Interesting implications .............. Peter Webb Aus
