It’s just a matter of time, they’ll cave. But it makes me want to go out and stop for coffee....

“Starbucks allowing guns to be carried in thousands of their stores significantly increases everyone’s risk of being a victim of gun violence,” says Elliot Fineman, C.E.O. of the NGAC. “Open and conceal and carry are among the reasons there are 12,000 gun homicides each year in the U.S. If we had England’s gun laws we would expect 375 gun homicides each year — 97% less than we have. England’s gun laws are based on protecting public safety, ours on maximizing sales for the gun industry.” (Non-Sane Gun Laws)

“The United Kingdom has one of the lowest rates of gun homicides in the world, and did so even before strict gun control legislation came into force”

Gun homicides in England were low before their strict gun laws. So did the gun laws really have any effect on them?

The devil is in these details...actually the truth is when more people cannot be victims and are armed, the criminals are neutered! Fact!

There were 636 homicides in England last year.

Is NGAC on crack?
