| John Stossel Links Gun Control to Higher Crime Rates |
 |
On Friday's 20/20, ABC anchor John Stossel
discussed the self-defensive benefits of gun
ownership, debunking the myth that "gun
control reduces crime." The segment aired
during 20/20's recurring series, "Myths, Lies
& Downright Stupidity," based on Stossel's
book of the same title. Citing the recent
Federal Appeals Court for DC ruling
overturning Washington, D.C.'s ban on gun
ownership, Stossel talked to the pro-gun
plaintiff in the case, Tom Palmer, and
pointed out that the murder rate in D.C.
increased after the city's gun ban: "Since
Washington's gun law passed, the murder rate
actually increased, even while America's
murder rate dropped. It's because guns can
also save lives, says Palmer, as one saved
his years ago in California."

"Jamie Leigh Jones, now 22, says that after
she was raped by multiple men at a KBR camp
in the Green Zone, the company put her under
guard in a shipping container with a bed and
warned her that if she left Iraq for medical
treatment, she'd be out of a job.
"Don't plan on working back in Iraq. There
won't be a position here, and there won't be
a position in Houston," Jones says she was
told.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court against
Halliburton and its then-subsidiary KBR,
Jones says she was held in the shipping
container for at least 24 hours without food
or water by KBR, which posted armed security
guards outside her door, who would not let
her leave. "
