Tragedy is about guns, not foreclosures
Yes, let's just forget the FACT that, since Detroiters began arming themselves in the absence of police, violent crime for the first quarter of this year was down 25% versus the same time a year ago. Yes, in the short term, justifiable homicides were up in the city; but even those numbers have been on the decline as criminals finally learn that the risks outweigh the perceived benefits of their crimes.

Nor am I making the case for a ban on handguns (useful as that might be if we could disarm Michigan's unlicensed gun owners as well as the law-abiding ones).
