Yeah, that’s why a gun control guy absolutely refused to debate him on CNN. CNN, in their normal unbiased manner cancelled Lott.

>>I live in Maine, where guns are everywhere.

Meanwhile, the crime rate is one of the lowest in the country.<<

DEMOGRAPHICS - DEMOGRAPHICS - DEMOGRAPHICS!!! But don’t publicize this fact, because you will be forever stigmatized as a RACIST!

When you hit back at these punks for this joke of an article, could you please post a link of it here on FR?

Thank you.

Well, the article was in “Media doesn’t Matter”, so I guess you need to consider the source.
