Kostas Moros, the sharp-eyed researcher and 2A advocate, just dropped a bombshell that's got the gun-grabbers scrambling: America's been unwittingly running the ultimate real-world experiment on guns and crime, and the results couldn't be clearer. In states that embraced constitutional carry—ditching permits and letting law-abiding adults carry without red tape—violent crime rates have plummeted, not skyrocketed as the Brady Bunch and their media megaphones predicted. Moros crunches the numbers from places like Texas, Florida, and others post-2020 reforms, showing homicide rates dropping 10-20% in many cases, while permitless carry expands. This isn't cherry-picked fluff; it's FBI UCR data, CDC stats, and state reports stacked against the fearmongering models from Everytown that assumed more guns equals more bodies. The more guns, more crime myth? Busted by the raw, unfiltered experiment of freedom in action. Dig deeper, and the context is deliciously ironic. For decades, anti-2A crusaders leaned on correlational studies—like John Donohue's discredited work tying stand your ground laws to spikes that never materialized—while ignoring the armed citizen's deterrent effect. Moros flips the script with temporal analysis: pre- vs. post-carry reform trends reveal that as concealed carry surges (now over 40% of adults in some states), aggravated assaults and robberies tank, aligning perfectly with John Lott's More Guns, Less Crime thesis validated across 30+ years of data. Critics love screaming Australia-style buybacks work! but Moros points to Chicago and NYC—gun control meccas with sky-high murder rates—proving restriction doesn't disarm criminals, it just leaves sheep for the wolves. This experiment exposes the playbook: hoplophobes predicted bloodbaths from shall-issue and now constitutional carry, yet here we are, safer than ever. For the 2A community, the implications are a goldmine. This isn't just vindication; it's ammunition for SCOTUS battles like Rahimi remands and future carry cases, arming us with empirical nukes against public safety hysteria. Lawmakers in purple states should take note—Indiana's crime drop post-2022 reform is a blueprint. Share this far and wide; it's the data-driven stake through the heart of incremental confiscation. The experiment continues: more liberty, less crime. Who's ready for the next phase?
