The anti-gun people are not going to surrender their moral high ground just because of a few facts. No matter how much their position is undermined by these pernicious findings, they are right and they know they are.
But the real agenda was never the control or reduction of crime. The disarming of the civilian population is the singular goal they are pursuing, and with the civilians disarmed, the resistance factor is decidedly much lower.
Of course, that's the reason for gun control.
This report is important because it will be useful (dare I say possibly instrumental) in allowing us to show those naive misguided souls (like the people with the MMM bumper stickers) that the politicians who support gun control are not do-gooders trying to prevent crime, but evil facists/elitists.
I don't know about that, I think they fall into one or more of the following groups:
-The clueless
-Those that think that all people (criminals included) will obey laws and believe in the goodness of all mankind (could be clueless).
-Those that don't/won't admit they are wrong to keep people from questioning what else they were wrong about.
-Those that think they are right and everyone else is wrong.
