Allowing citizens to have weapons cuts crime

I would make one change here:

Halting Improper Government Restrictions on the Right to Have Weapons cuts crime.

We gotta change the mindset that government allows us to carry weapons. That's half the battle.

I was going to post objecting to the same thing, but I thing you did a better job.

I also would make a change.
Stopping government theft of personal property such as guns and stopping illegal government suspension of Constitutional rights stops crime and the criminal democrats hate it.

"We gotta change the mindset that government allows us to carry weapons. That's half the battle."

You beat me to it. The government inhibits the free constitutional right of law abiding citizens to own weapons. I'd add to that: It is immaterial rather guns cut crime or not. If a law abiding citizen wants to own a machine gun as far as I'm concerned that is okay. I'm in no fear of my law abiding neighbors. I am in fear of the criminal subclass that the government patently refuses to do anything about: Control criminals; not guns.
