Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti mayors support assault weapons ban, stricter gun laws

60. Put the strawman back in the barn.

Your continual fiction that only prior felons commit gun crimes is nonsense.

I have never claimed that. If you have to lie to make your points then you have already lost. I claim that almost all murderers have prior criminal records. A few rare ones will commit murder as their first offense.

As for my knowledge of criminals, I have an interest in and have read books on the subject. Here are some suggested books:

The Gift of Fear and Other Survival Signals That Protect Us From Violence by Gavin de Becker

Inside The Criminal Mind by Stanton Samenow

The Creation of Dangerous Violent Criminals by Lonnie H Athens

Code of the Street by Elijah Anderson

Beggars and Thieves: Lives of Urban Street Criminals by Mark S Fleicher

All of those authors have their doctorates and some teach in major Universities.

Rampage killers don't interest me much. They are extremely rare, although they make huge headlines when they do act. My interest is in the typical killer, and usually he will have a prior record as a violent criminal.
