On Iraqi Disarmament
"…as we try to protect Iraqis and ensure the safety of our troops, we must ask: Is it really clear that our soldiers are better off by attempting to disarm Iraqi citizens? To the extent that guns are banned and law-abiding citizens disarmed, the jobs for our soldiers actually become more difficult.

" A machine gun can be handy defending oneself when people are being attacked by bands of thugs. Our soldiers are extremely important in creating a stable society, but they cannot protect more than 22 million Iraqis all of the time. Wasting resources on collecting Iraqi guns will only work against efforts to make Iraq eventually a civilized country."

On Affirmative Action in Law Enforcement Hiring
“Should racial preferences play a role in government hiring? … My own
research has statistically analyzed the effect of changes in hiring rules
and the composition of police departments on crime, arrest and conviction rates. … Increasing black officers’ share of the police force one percentage point as a result of the new hiring policies increases murders by at least 2%, violent crime by almost 5% and property crimes by 4%.”

About Rush Limbaugh’s comments on black quarterback Donovan McNabb
“Limbaugh readily admits that it was just his opinion that ‘the media has
been very desirous that a black quarterback do well.’ But his critics
allowed no possibility for uncertainty, calling his comments "ignorant" or
worse. … To measure positive news coverage, I quickly put ten research
assistants to work on a Nexis search, which is a computerized search of
newspaper stories across the country. … The evidence suggests that Rush is right, though the simplest measures indicate that the difference is not huge. Looking at just the averages, without trying to account for anything else, reveals a ten-percent difference in coverage (with 67 percent of stories on blacks being positive, 61 percent for whites)."
