“The mayor is concerned that if the gun ban is overturned, there will be even more handguns available in the streets.”

Anyone have the stats on whether or not handgun crime has decreased since the ban? I mean, it’s not like criminals are going to say, “Well, I was going to knock over that 7-11 but since I’m not allowed to have a gun, I’ll just stay home.”

Apparently it hasn't. One article at boston.com states that, as a percentage, it's gone up since the gun ban. No big surprise there.
