Steven Pinker is a professor of psychology at Harvard University. His qualifications make yours and mine together look pathetic. He is deserving of respect.
He's a leftist anti-gun putz, like a good many other academics at Harvard.
Why do you not respond in a proper and intelligent way to his statement? Pinker, as a result of his detailed research, found that the murder rate of the old west averaged 25 killings per 100,000 people per year. In the USA today, it is about 4.5 per year, and that makes it the worst in the entire western world.
And yet there are more guns in the US now than at any time in the history of the world and which direction does even Pinker admit the violent crime rates are headed?
Down.
QED.
Your libertarian 'utopia' is reflected in the way of life in the old west, and it resulted in extreme violence. What makes you think the same thing again would give better results?
As I said, Pinker is a leftist anti-gun putz.
Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. We have already seen 'libertarian justice' resulting in severe nastiness. To want to repeat the experience - does that not reflect Einstein's model of insanity?
And yet, more guns, less crime.
QED.
