TEN YEARS AGO ON INSTAPUNDIT:

“GUN PERMITS SURGE, BUT NOT VIOLENCE,” the Detroit News reports.

“That’s really the surprise,” said Wayne County Sheriff Robert Ficano. “There are no altercations or incidents I’ve seen that are at all attributable to the law change. We thought there might be some.”

That, of course, has been the story everywhere that liberalized handgun-carry laws have been enacted. And yet opponents of such laws continue to claim that the streets will run with blood.

And they still do.
