this guy gets it...


" "Despite the increases in pistol permits, the state is significantly safer than it was 25 years ago. According to Connecticut’s Uniform Crime Report, which indexes murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft in the state, offenses have been on a downward spiral since 1985, dropping around 30 percent in recent years."

Despite? Are you serious?

How about BECAUSE? "
