Alaska and MAIG

Posted by
Alaska used to have two Mayors who belonged to the Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition.

This should be good for our crime rate, as members of MAIG are known to commit crimes at an above-average rate. Now, if only we could get that Brady Score of zero down to at least -2...

  1. Would like to see a comparison between the crime rate of MAIG members vs. the crime rate of licensed concealed carriers.

  2. I've done the math before, in comments for other blogs, and depending on what state you use data from it tends to be something like 3x to 20x more likely for a MAIG member to commit a crime than a permit holder.
