发帖数: 29846 | 1 The economic downturn has not led to more crime—contrary to the experts'
predictions. So what explains the disconnect? Big changes in American
culture, says James Q. Wilson.
When the FBI announced last week that violent crime in the U.S. had reached
a 40-year low in 2010, many criminologists were perplexed. It had been a
dismal year economically, and the standard view in the field, echoed for
decades by the media, is that unemployment and poverty are strongly linked
to crime. The argument is str... 阅读全帖 |

Something is wrong with Barack Obama. We all know it. We all see it. When
he speaks about America, Americans cringe. There is a strangeness to his
manner, an unease when he talks about America. He appears awkward and
uncomfortable. His speech seems performed and practiced yet, oddly halting.
It's reminiscent of American POW's in Vietnam or Iraq reading a forced

枪每发子弹的威力并不是禁止这种枪的原因。很多打猎的步枪每发子弹的威力都很巨大
，但同时枪的带弹量很小，子弹也很重，没法大量携带。每打一枪还需要拉一下枪栓，
子弹很快打完还需要装子弹。一般来说这种枪搞大屠杀不容易。搞犯罪活动比如抢劫也
很困难。因为携带不方便，不可能在大街上扛着这么一把又大又重的步枪，警察一眼就
看见你了。就算有人用这个，拉枪栓和装子弹的时候人们也可以群起攻之。
如果分步走的话首先要禁的是带弹量巨大的大弹夹步枪，这些枪是专门设计来杀人的。
枪很轻巧子弹不大但杀个人绰绰有余。可以连续开很多枪杀很多人不需要换弹夹。还有
手枪，街上抢劫的罪犯多数用手枪，非常便于携带，便于干坏事。
要禁枪的话就要禁掉所有的“detachable magazine”不管手枪还是步枪。所有枪都必
