It sure sounds logical doesn't it? Guns are used for killing, so if we eliminate this source of killing, then less crime and death right? Wrong actually like most of the other liberal tenets. Like making people dependent on government aid will make them independent. Or being nice to criminals will make them not be criminals. The problem with liberals is that they never suspect that they can be wrong on anything. Another huge problem for them (and us) is that they never learn from their mistakes.
Some comic I heard a few weeks ago said:
"If you believe the slogan that 'guns kill people', then you won't mind if I start blaming my spelling errors on my pencil."
Bookmarked! Thanks for posting this! I'll append a print-out to "More Guns, Less Crime."
I highly reccomend any FReepers who have children approaching college age that they give Hillsdale a look-see.
The thought of an armed house has deterred many crimes..
The media doesn't give a damn.
Also, the pro-gun side needs some studies beyond Lott. He's good, but has been a big discredited with the Rosh thing.

Don't elect Hanoi john or we will have to just lay down and die because he will send his GESTAPO to collect our guns. Mine will be taken from my cold dead hand. I'm not stealing Charlton Heston's statement, I'm using it in his honor because an America without the Second Amendment that guards the rest of our Rights and Freedoms; will not be America. God Bless America and the Founding Fathers that put in writing the Rights and Freedoms that God gave us.
I'm not the least bit suprised by the reporter NOT saying anything about armed students, since that might have actually presented gun ownership and CCW in a favorable light.
I made the mistake of allowing myself to be interviewed by KC TV reporter Bev Chapman back during the fight over the Brady Bill, and the way that they cut my words out of context was really dispicable. When I objected and demanded that they correct their reporting, I was told that I had said those words, and that was all there was to it. I have never trusted anything I've seen in the MSM since then.
