The New York Times reports on a crime wave in Iran and how the Iranian government is dealing with it, via Shariah law. (That's the Islamic law that US and European courts are fond of citing and even embracing when hearing cases involving Muslims and infidels alike.)
In the case of the two thugs who were hanged on Sunday, they stabbed a man nearly to death while trying to steal his money. Another woman interviewed in the article recounted the case of two toughs who broke into her home and beat her severely, trying to get her to tell them where she hid her money.
In our desperate search for a solution to violent crime in America, it's informative to note that violent criminals aren't using guns in Iran. And law-abiding Iranians aren't able to use guns - the Great Equalizer - for their defense.
As so many have said, criminals are the problem. Their behavior is what is wrong. The tools of their trade are irrelevant.
There's a reason the Colt Single Action Army .45 caliber revolver that entered service in 1873 was called "The Peacemaker."
