Because Los Angeles and Chicago Are So Much Safer than Missouri, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Alaska, North Dakota and Utah February 1, 2008

P-D:
Missouri ranked near the bottom and Illinois near the top of a national ranking of state gun regulations released Thursday by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, a gun-control advocacy group.
“We make it too easy for dangerous people to get dangerous weapons,” said Paul Helmke, president of the Washington-based group.
The campaign survey puts Missouri tied for second-worst in the nation in terms of its laws governing ownership, sale and possession of weapons. Illinois ranked ninth best, it said.
California won the group’s praise as having what it considers the most comprehensive gun-control laws. Kentucky and Oklahoma tied for last place; Missouri shared the second-last ranking with Alaska, Louisiana, North Dakota and Utah.
Illinois is one of the few states that has no concealed-carry law, something the Missouri Legislature adopted in 2004 after statewide voters narrowly rejected it in 1999.
The Brady Campaign also scored Illinois higher because it doesn’t have a “castle doctrine” law, such as the one Missouri adopted last year granting a broader right to use a weapon in self-defense.
So, this means the Brady organization supports home burglaries.
