The earliest crime figures by city I could find at StatsCan were for 1995. Since that year the violent crime rate has decreased in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, Edmonton, Hamilton and Quebec. The only large cities where it has increased are Winnipeg and Calgary. > Moreover, Mr. Lambert continues to obscure the increases in gun > violence in Britain and the increases in serious violence by using > overall violence figures that include less serious crimes (a criticism > he delivers against Mauser too).

I'll continue to mention the change in the counting rules as long as people like Mauser and Lott compare crime figures under the old rules with those under the new rules. You don't seem to have the slightest problem with their conduct. Why is that? -- Tim _______________________________________________ To post, send message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof
