When Obama's Secret Service detail turns in their guns, he might regain a very slight bit of credibility. Until then, he can STFU.

The bombastic media reporting of and editorializing about school shootings such as Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, Columbine, and now UCC, with calls for action deflects attention from important realities. Harvard Law School found that worldwide murders and suicides are unrelated and often inversely related to firearms possession, and found the U.S.A. had fewer deaths and more firearms than most countries. The National Science Foundation and the Center for Disease Control found, after reviewing 450 sources and doing their own research, that no positive benefit accrued from laws concerning bans, restrictions, waiting periods, registration, or licensing.

However, a most important reality is that imbecilic gun free zones exist in opposition to the self-evident right to life. A condition precedent for any discussion must be recognition that the inherent natural right of self-defense occupies a position superior to any opposing laws or rules.

For the United States protecting Constitutional guarantees regarding firearms in common usage should be paramount. Those debating this issue would then retain a proper tension between personal freedom and the demonstrated condition of humans. A focus on personal freedom would likely lead to a focus on predators and criminals, and not intensify the failed strategies mentioned above.

BANNING GUNS ENDANGERS VICTIMS

It seems like this is something that a 12 year old could figure own on their own, but a decade and a half in public schools being indoctrinated along with a lying complicit media makes it harder for those not used to thinking to understand.
