HORSE HILLARY
See, they have a problem, though. In the 1990's I remember EVERY MEDIA OUTLET was firmly anti-gun. The USA Today newspaper even wrote, in their state-by-state section, an anti-gun excerpt that was supposed to sour people on guns.
It didn't work. In fact, it even backfired.
I don't see anything changing.
Yeah. I hate it when that happens. It is tragic.
Years ago, my Brother was approached by a questionable character while unloading some stuff from his Car in a Parking Lot.
When the guy started to get aggressive, my Brother pulled out his Pistol.
At the sight of the Gun, the guy took off.
The Clinton Administration commissioned a National Science Foundation (NSF) study that could not find a positive correlation between gun control laws and other measures after consulting 400 sources and doing its own research. The only dissent was detailed in Appendix A saying John Lott’s conclusion from his studies that concealed carry laws do drive down murder rates had in fact survived all attempts at reanalysis.
Here the dissenter referred to a twenty-year study by John Lott and William Landes from the University of Chicago Law School. That and subsequent Lott studies the NSF reviewed correlated passage of concealed carry laws with large decreases in multiple victim shootings, and reduced harm from shootings when they did occur.

The NCVS are lackeys of the Obama administration. Does anyone expect them to be objective?
the clinton reference was based soley on the domain name
bjs.gov...
I am constantly amazed by how much common sense and logic that our educational system remove from it’s students. Most of these idiots had more sense the day they were born then they have now.
If the perp is lying on the ground writhing in pain he can no longer harm me. The range works wonders for ones accuracy.
What a crock of BS
Definitely a situation I would never report.
Many places that is considered brandishing and could very easily get you into trouble.
Glad it worked out for your Brother!
Re: “Contrary to what many gun advocates argue, the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) data reveals that having a gun provides no statistically significant benefit to a would-be victim during a criminal confrontation.”
Contrary to what many people believe, the sky really isn’t blue and water really isn’t wet.
“Disarm the NYPD?”
I thought that’s what DeBlabbio was doing?
I have found pelting criminals with marshmallows will make them giggle uncontrollably, thereby rendering them harmless.
So, remember Kiddies: always bring a marshmallow to a gun fight!
This just in! New Study Finds No Advantages to Using a Study in Self-Defense Situations, either....
You can rename a turd “rose” and it will still smell the same & stick to your shoes.
IOW, you can call lies truth all you want, changes nothing. Except maybe in Obama’s Amerika.
Every time Bloomberg or some other gun grabber starts their crap I just have to laugh.
They are too dense to realize that their efforts only serve to increase public awareness and as a result more folks realize the importance of arming themselves.
Ultimately this increases the conservative base. I love positive outcomes.
WOULD-BE: Desiring, intending, professing, or having the potential to be.
Is the writer not a native-speaker of English?
Regards,
“Most self-reported self-defense gun uses may well be illegal and against the interests of society.”
The Fascists would like you to believe that...
How is self-defense use “illegal”?
It just means the law is screwed up.
WHO is measuring “the interests of society”?
I know one person who wishes this story was true. The thug who broke into my home, whom I chased out with my gun!
