when I first started reading this article i was going to use this space to correct all of the FACTS he got wrong but there are about 6 per paragraph and I don't have that kind of time. Maybe some freepers can do a line by line correction and if any freepers give money to the univeristy of connecticut you should probably stop now if this is an example of the typeof "education " they give the students

I will saythis though the 39 000 murders hes talking about in 1993 how many of those do you think were armed and able to defend themselves at the time of thier deaths? probably a dozen maybe the vaste supermajority were unarmed because of the draconian unconstitional gun control laws in almost every city in 1993

The author would probably confront someone breaking into his domicile with a hand full of tofu.

"mountains of evidence"

This is what passes for facts in the liberal mind.

When this idiot first referred to people that own weapons legally as gun nuts, he/she/it lost the debate and any credibility in the piece. This gun nut responsibly kept this person's right to freedom of speech free by service in the military.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Ignore for a minute that the probability of encountering a burglar dumb enough to enter your house while you are there is incredibly slim...

Guy came into our house at 6 in the evening one night, my roommate knifed the bastard.

Run a correlation of gun ownership and high crime zones and the author of this piece would be throughly debunked. There are places in America where every 2nd or third household has at least 1 firearm and the crime rate is virtually nil. That's not to say gun ownership isn't also very high in LA, even though higher legal boundaries exist to it there than elsewhere, but the correlation between crime hot spots and gun registrations is statistical fantasy.

You have a point in that almost every sentence is a lie or half truth. Using stats from 93 and 94 is no mistake either. It's deliberate agitprop and should be ignored, but the author should be remembered.

Gun nuts believe that if every citizen owned a weapon, potential criminals would be too afraid to commit crimes.

Works just fine in Switzerland where every man 18 and older is REQUIRED to have a gun and know how to use it.

If this was written by a woman you'd have a chance at turning her around by taking her to the range. But since it was written by a girly-man, it's a lost cause.

[RetroWarrior]

"In 1993, of 39,595 firearm-related deaths, only 251 were determined to be justifiable homicide"

No mention that most of the rest were caused by criminals which used guns during the commission of a crime.

"Don't confuse me with facts, I've got my mind made up!" Gun nuts are so obsessed with opposing gun control laws that no amount of factual evidence against their position will sway them.

Very interesting statement coming from their camp.
I had a friend once who believed along the same lines as the writer of this "article". I finally told her to place a sign in her front yard clearly stating that there were no firearms on the premises - never were and never will be.

She declined the offer. I wonder why?

More of the same regurgitated, disproven lies....

I think I'll buy a new pistol this weekend. :o)

A rational mugger would prefer to give up and flee should his activity lead to conflict

Yeah, and most muggers are rationale. Tell it to that young woman in NYC that got shot the other day.

[spodefly]

I'm not suggesting that people stop owning weapons or that the NRA disband and start crusading for rights that don't kill anyone, like smoking pot for example.

I can tell that this guy has smoked a lot of pot.

even if I were to try to take him to a gun range I would be in fear for my life because this college educated yokel probably wouldnt have the foggiest idea of wich end of the gun to point at the target and since hes a liberal the bullet would pass through his skull with no resistance and come out and hit me. I was going to send him email after email dispoving his fantasy but suprise suprise there is no email for this guy on the website probably becasue he knew people were going to call him on his propaganda
