Just the sound of that 870 loading diffused the situation.

Liberal: But....but....but....you should of just dialed 911....the police would be there...in....minutes.

Guess the Secret Service will soon be disarming.

And George Soros's estate will soon be a gun-free zone.

Data free decision making. His study was not based on empirical evidence, it was based on a survey of the opinions of "experts". IOW, GIGO.

Maine has a high rate of firearm ownership and the rate of robberies, firearm assaults and homicides are very low here.

Of course, the population is 96% white.....

These anti-gun studies are always corrupt.

I remember one guy from Georgia (Emory) who got all kinds of awards for an anti gun study. It was eventually discovered that he had simply lied and made things up.

They had to (I am sure reluctantly) rescind the awards. I think he even lost his job as a professor.

Exactly and then modify the results to benefit their beliefs, unfortunately, facts do not matter anymore!

I call this PhD philosophy. My so understands the problem but has to get along in his world...

Charleston church shooting: One bad guy with a gun in a “GUN FREE” zone equals nine innocent people murdered.

Colorado Springs church shooting: One bad guy with a gun in a church with at least one good person who also had a gun equals only two dead innocents before the gunman’s death. [Three cheers for Jeanne Assam!]

I doubt that anyone who attended a real school is confused by this completely logical outcome. As for Harvard, perhaps they should admit based on qualifications (for students and faculty!) instead of family connections.

The Charleston killer himself said that he couldn’t go to the ghetto because there would have been people who could resist him. He chose to go to a peaceful place where he thought nobody would shoot back.

“Oh well, anybody want to buy my worthless guns?”

Yes, if they are worthless, maybe you will pay me to get rid of them for you. :)

I do I do I do I do.

If I remember my Guntalk radio threads you are a pretty good judge of all kinds of guns.

Completely worthless of course. But I'd love to have 'em!

lol

I suppose I might keep them for the sentimental value, but definitely not for any false sense of security they may provide. ;^)

Two thoughts

1) When seconds count the police are minutes away.

2) A gun is a lot easier for me to conceal and lighter to carry than a cop is.

And millions of legal gun owners say this “study” is BS!

Any one care to bet that this “study” was funded by The Brady Center for Violence and Mayor Bloomberg’s Anti-Gun Moms?

Thought not.
