Andrew Ford: a quote

[Crazy Biker]

I found a quote on the net just today:

"25 States allow anyone to buy a gun, strap it on, and walk down the street with no permit of any kind: some say it's crazy. However, 4 out of 5 US murders are committed in the other half of the country: so who is crazy?" -- Andrew Ford

Can anyone tell me who this Andrew Ford was or in what timeframe this quote was given? And if it still applies?

Many thanks

I am Andrew Ford.  I did that study circa 1990.  Somehow I doubt it is anything close to valid now.  It was based the 1990/1991 FBI UCRs and a gun carry summary from rec.guns. 

Over the years, I've lost the original files - if anyone does find it, please post a link.....
