Repeal it all you want. Prohibition didn’t work did it?
You cannot force people to do what they don’t want to do.

Are they counting the hood? Or just lawful gun owners?

That's the right question, and they have to be adding up the casualties in the ghetto.

How about do a study on the homicide risk in areas with a large proportion of “13/90s”, or “Guests from the south”?
Hmmm?

a study published Monday suggests people who live with handgun owners are shot to death at a higher rate than those who don’t have such weapons at home. DUH, what you going to shoot somewith if not a gun. What is the overall rate of homicide from all causes and how many lives were saved because the homeowner protected his family with a gun?

Knives have killed more than guns in a household with heavy objects like hammers etc.

They are going to redefine it out of existence.

Just like they did with the natural born citizen clause.

A friend of mine lives in a first-floor city apartment. Well, late one night he was woken by a noise coming from his living room. Some guy was trying to crawl in through one of the windows.

My friend brandished a handgun. The invader guy quickly backed off and ran down the street. No shots were fired, and no cops were called.

Stories like this are far from rare. Yet they will not make it into any study such as the one the AP is pushing here.

"said David Studdert, a Stanford University researcher who was the lead author of the Annals of Internal Medicine study."

Dear David, I think maybe you and yours should go back to studying your anals..

.... This information may actually be deceptively true for all the wrong reasons. Consider this ..... Most homicides take place in the inner cities where the gang culture runs rampant. Question: What do most gangbangers posses????? ..... Handguns.

Study the willingness of gun free locations to put out a sign to that effect.
Oh wait that’s the location of every outsider walk-in shooting known. Gun presence does deter crime of all kinds. Begs the question, so what is the effect of gun presence in this obvious case and why do you think a house negates it????
Idiots getting no smarter given a piece of paper
