The CDC’s latest report on firearms might not make many gun control activists happy

Gun rights advocates have long defended their right to bear arms out of a need for self-defense. And now they have a new report from the Centers for Disease Control that says they make a darn good point.

The $10 million study commissioned by President Barack Obama as part of 23 executive orders he signed in January says “self-defense can be an important crime deterrent.”

DOH! Although I kinda disagree with "can be". I'm more of an "is" type. No, not "that" 'is'.

23 executive orders he signed in January

Say what??

[umgud]

There are enough gun owners. We need more of them carrying to really send a message to the BG’s.

This is your doing, isn’t it.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

And to think, we could have ended his presidency in January of 2009 if only we had stolen all his pens.

Great post!

The report states that African-American males are most affected by gun-related violence, with “32 per 100,000” deaths.

Guns are clearly racist.

Not sure which January. Seems kinda fast for a report that was ordered in the last 10 days. Unless the info was SO overwhelming.

“And to think, we could have ended his presidency in January of 2009 if only we had stolen all his pens.”

Yes, considering the Fraud didn’t even discover he had pens until January 2014.

Congress had already been rolling over for him every time he wanted for four years anyway.

“Not sure which January.”
Poorly written article. The E.O. was from Jan 2012. The report was published in 2013.

[DoughtyOne]

I suspect he had been using his E.O. pen since his inauguration. He may have addressed the use of them as a threat, but I don’t think that’s when he first used them.

Not trying to be argumentative, but his is how the guy ruled most of the time.

[treetopsandroofs]

Yes, of course. The FIRST was to hide all his personal information.

I just brought it up because the Fraud didn’t start talking about his precious little pen until second term.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s okay. I don’t object to your mention of that threat of his.

We’re on the same page here.

[rktman]

At least I try to bring the latest. Just a little late. LOL!
