Well, that might explain it
Paul Helmke’s (president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Ownership) record:
But in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the crime rates didn’t look as good as national rates. As writer Howard Nemerov points out in his recent column, “Fuzzy Math,” during Helmke’s last five years in office -from 1995 to 2000-the national drop in violent crime outpaced Fort Wayne’s drop in crime by nearly 10 percent. Murder, rape and aggravated assaults … all of those crimes were worse in Fort Wayne than the national average.
But in the five years after Helmke left office, just the opposite happened. Fort Wayne’s crime rate was 11 percent LOWER than the national average.
