That's a quote from the newspaper article. I guess they are no more
accurate in England than they are in the USA. >>> "Volokh, Eugene" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/01/04 10:32PM >>> Hmm; as I read the UCR data, burglary in Oklahoma in 2000 was at 51.5% of its 1987 rate. Nationwide, it was at 54.5% of its 2000 rate. Hard to see much evidence of the Make My Day Law's effect there. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Joseph E. Olson Sent: Mon 11/1/2004 9:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: A "gun law" that stops crime. It has been an unqualified success. Since the Make My Day Law came into force, burglary has declined by almost half in Oklahoma. In 1987, there were 58,333 cases; in 2000, just 31,661. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;sessionid=10B2NQ2HU4IYDQFIQMFSM5OAVCBQ0JVC?xml=/news/2004/10/31/nburg231.xml ****************************************** Professor Joseph Olson; J.D., LL.M.
