awww, c'mon, where are the conspiracy kooks that will call this an enhanced effort by the government to work for more gun control due to the difficulties with Holder's "Fast and Furious" debacle.

Media Silence Is Deafening About Important Gun News

By John Lott

Published September 30, 2011

Murder and violent crime rates were supposed to soar after the Supreme Court struck down gun control laws in Chicago and Washington, D.C.

If you compare the first six months of this year to the first six months of 2008, the same time immediately preceding the Supreme Court's late June "Heller" decision, murders have now fallen by thirty-four percent.

Gun crimes also fell more than non-gun crimes.

Robberies with guns fell by 25%, while robberies without guns have fallen by eight percent. Assaults with guns fell by 37%, while assaults without guns fell by 12%.

Just as with right-to-carry laws, when law-abiding citizens have guns some criminals stop carrying theirs.

This entire article is pure drooling imbicilic bullshit of the sort that is always posted by such fuckheads.

Nowhere, and I defy you to show me the great heap of studies or outcrying about 'supposed to soar'. It didnt fucking happen whatsoever, and you can go look even at the thread on this issue that is here.

After that, the rest of that article devolves to usual pedestrian shitlicking.

Gun Control Saving or Costing Lives?

Quick note about this -- relative to other major nations, we don't really have much in the way of gun control, and so it would be silly to say it's costing lives, with the ready availability of firearms in the U.S.

It will always be only a hypothetical here.

We should try some. It works elsewhere.

Yep Norway 60+ dead in one incident, England 22 grades schooler dead in one incedent , France over 20 dead in once incident Germany over 30 dead in one incident works great over there.

More bullshit, the UK has by far the highest crime rate in Europe and has a long standing sectarian conflict which doesn't help its figures.

Even the wild west wasn't so wild....many a town that grew into a city enacted local ordinances barring firearms within city limits.They had some sense in old Dodge City.

Not completly accurate. They would ban guns from the portions of town where there would alway be a law enforcement presence. If you were somewhere that they couldn't be present to protect you you could carry.

Since you seem to have a little time, google the difference between anecdote and evidence. If that's your level of "proof," you've got a damn weak case. Try the perfectionist fallacy as well. We still have crime--so having police doesn't work, right? We have firemen, but we still have fires, so it doesn't work, right? We have schools, but we still have people who don't understand or practice the simplistic basic logic.

Would gun control work? In other industrialized nations, it works very well.

Is that some kind of equivalence statement Bama?
Maybe you should remove yourself from the conversation and wallow with your gun loving brothers in the blood of the innocents.
Way to just ignore the dead and injured along with their families not to mention the thousands of other murder victims

Come on Lucy I expect better of you. You should note though that every mass shooting in the US has been in a gun free zone. You should also note that this guy gave up the first time he met an armed opponent (albeit that was the police)

Lot of that going around. Hope you feel better soon.
Every time something like this comes up, everybody's a fucking special ops marksman.

Clue: shooting in a crowded theater, you're going to hit people.
That's among the reasons the police wisely didn't just go crashing in to get shot and shoot others.

Try paying attention, Muse. If you bothered to do that, you'd know I had already agreed with you about walking around armed all the time. My objection is to letting a dishonest poster define the terms.

I've had guns pointed at me. I've heard the sound of a round being chambered in a gun pointed at the back of my head. I know what my instinctive reaction to that is. I suspect most our Rambo's in here haven't a fucking clue.

That's twice. I'm now demanding you prove that I'm less honest than you. Note for every accusation you make I'll simply point out some flat out lie you've told on this forum.

Bravery does not flow from the barrel of a gun.

You're right! Lead does

One does what needs be done with tools at hand. None of them needed a gun to do what had to be done. True. But they did need one thing. Their friend's life. A Colt .45 would have cost less.

Bullshit, coward.

The fact is a 12 gauge at point blank range would have killed/wounded all 5. Intead one man took the whole blast and enabled his 4 friends to save the rest of the people in the church.
