Gun Law Effect Studied In Philadelphia After Two Years
Philadelphia tightened rifle and shotgun sales in 1965 aiming to deter crime. Police note no scientific measure exists but cite a 13.2 percent drop in homicides in 1966 from 1965 while serious crime fell 6.4 percent. Critics say the law is rigid and unenforceable, claiming many private sales bypass registration. Supporters argue any crime prevention justifies the ordinance which fined unregistered possession and forced dozens of dealers out of business.
