I notice you’re new here at FR.

Why are you posting this without comment?

Commented in the title “nothing about armed criminals”

...but, I think the article is stupid enough without me adding my comments to it.

Wonder how many cops and private citizens were killed by CRIMINALS in the same time period?

Don’t get your knickers in a knot, we just need to make sure you aren’t another agent provocateur. We’ve had a few of those lately.

Nothing about how many crimes were prevented by CCP holders, either, let alone how many CCP holders successfully defended their own lives and the lives of others.

This is the most idiotic argument VPC has used to date. According to them, laws to allow concealed carry don’t work because someone might get a carry permit and then commit a crime, but laws against concealed carry work because no one will get a concealed carry permit and therefore no one will commit a crime.

What a bunch of morons.

I haven’t looked at this in detail yet, but the VPC is well known for putting out “studies” that are nothing more nor less than deliberate lies and propaganda. To say that their “studies” are crap is an unkindness to crap.

And that’s not a biased statement, it’s just the plain and simple truth. Lying with statistics is simply their routine mode of operation.

It isn't about stopping criminal behavior, it is about criminalizing behavior by law abiding citizens, as a means to increase governmental power over the people. Keep reminding yourself of that fact and it helps sort out all these maunderings regarding CCP or ATF over State laws, etc.

Regardless of Randy Weaver's possible criminal status, his wife was in no way a criminal, yet the government authorized gunning her down then later gave themselves absolution. Regardless of the criminality of the Waco compound of Koresh, the government slaughter the opposition complete with children rather than deal with the vagaries of the legal scrum. The government is all powerful when the SCOTUS refuses to uphold their oaths to the Constitution, as they have shwon in numerous modern era cases, like Roe v Wade. The federal black-robed oligarchs can creat penumbras if they cannot twist the constitutional wording.

Apparently more cops are killed in vehicle accidents:

If 35 were killed, the number of killings by concealed carry seem very high.
