this may be a perfectly objective study but it isn't under the auspices of a perfectly objective organization and so will be discounted or ignored. Which, of course, does not prevent breathless press releases by VPC and HCI to be picked up by the NYT and WP and reported as gospel.

Gary Mauser? I used to own a 98K Mauser. German military rifle that fires 7.92mm rounds. The first time I fired it, at 3am, flames shot out of the barrel a considerable distance. I'd never shot such a weapon at night, and it totally amazed me.
As you can tell, I'm not what you'd call a knowledgeable gun-owner.

"The logic offered suggest that the people cannot be trusted so write laws and the people will follow the laws because the people can be trusted." I think they know laws won't be followed. They just need more laws so that anyone can be found guilty of something, at any time need be. A stealth version of tyranny.

I can't believe you were the first to get this guys name. I wonder if it is any relation to the famous family of these great guns.
Too bad the Germans lost the war and Mauser by default lost most of his patent rights. Just amazing that the Mauser action has never really been bettered. What a genious that guy was.

Yes, but, but, but...
A person is 470,000 times more likely to be killed by his own gun than he is to defend himself from a criminal with it.
I know that's true. I just know it. It has to be.
And any statistics you show to the contrary are LIES.
Only my statistics are good. Everyone else LIES.

Whta a suprise - gun control has no positive effect on criminal activity. Actually, it does. It makes criminal activity much safer!

In all cases, the effort meant setting up expensive bureaucracies that produce no noticeable improvement to public safety or have made the situation worse. It's not about protecting citizens it's about giving more power to the government !!

Liberals aren't going to let facts get in the way of a perfectly emotional argument.

As has been said before, it is about control, not guns.
