"Bush: Florida crime rate down to lowest level since 71":

Florida's crime rate dropped for the 14th straight year in 2005 to its lowest mark since 1971 because of tougher laws, increased financial support from the Legislature and law-abiding citizens with guns, Gov. Jeb Bush said Tuesday.

"This report shows that staying tough on crime works," said Bush. "Law abiding citizens that have guns for protection actually probably are part of the reason we have a lower crime rate."

Jeb Bush is one of the few Republicans that are not so bad. He's signed some great laws for Florida, including the recent "stand your ground" law and he's got the balls to say that guns in private hands are good. Two cheers for Jeb!
