Allowing citizens to have weapons cuts crime

I would make one change here:

Halting Improper Government Restrictions on the Right to Have Weapons cuts crime.

We gotta change the mindset that government allows us to carry weapons. That's half the battle.

[relictele]

If South Carolina smalltown newspapers (and I include Myrtle Beach's the Sun News) are anything like ours, stories about gun ownership lowering crime will almost never get published.

These papers aren't elitist liberals like the Northeasterners, but they are a breed of all-government-is-good sheep that view DARE elementary school graduation as a headline story, because a) it happened at a public/government school, b) it involved police doing something other than law enforcement and c) it is worthless feelgoodism.

Gun ownership scares the people who are scared of guns strictly because of ignorance but it also dismays the newspapers because it lessens the need for the Nanny State and does nothing to expand government in all its guises.

"As a whole, street thugs and other criminal opportunists are cowards. They fear an armed populace."

As do many legislators in this country. I wonder why that is? Surely they don't fit in the same category as cowardly street thugs and criminal opportunists, do they?

(An old man living in a cave once said, if a question is worded properly it contained the answer.) ;>

I guess criminals don't like getting shot either. Who knew?

Perhaps it should read 'Arming citizens in the US reduces US crime' as there are many countries in the world that have unarmed citizens and far lower crime levels than ours.

Okay once again I'm gonna 'try' to understand this.
The Mayor of New York City, whose authority ENDS at the city limits hires some Private Investigators

The private investigators, who have NO legal authority, then travel 471 miles to Danville Virginia on the orders of the Mayor of New York City.

Said private investigators then knowingly and wantonly, and on the orders of the Mayor of New York City, attempt to make an illegal straw purchase of firearms from a Gun Shop.

Said private investigators are successful in their fraudulent purchase of firearms, as they duped the the owner/clerk into selling them a and/or some firearm(s).

Said private investigators then travel 471 miles back to New York City with these ILLEGALLY obtained firearms and in the process crossed numerous state and/or county lines of various legal jurisdictions - where again, they have NO LEGAL AUTHORITY.

Upon arriving in New York City, they then transfer possession of these illegally purchased firearms to the Mayor of New York City - which he gleefully and knowingly accepts.
Lastly, in the other cases, said private investigators traveled even further on the orders of the Mayor of New York City, to Georgia, to make additional ILLEGAL straw purchases of firearms.
Now I'm pretty sure that about sums it up. As such, my question is.....

Why isn't the Mayor of New York City, and said private investigators in Federal Custody at this moment and being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for breaking about a gazillion Federal Firearms Laws??
Come on AG Gonzo and BATFE, why isn't Bloomie in God Dam JAIL!! He and his cronies should be in the federal lockup and should have been arrested a minute after his press conference announcing this ILLEGAL 'sting'.

I copied this from FR the other day, because I have alot of problems with this....

My opinion is that Bloomy needs to be in jail for a vast amounts of law-breaking, yet he wants to run for POTUS and anyone that is involved with Amendment 2, feels that he wants to do away with that Amendment....as far as I'm concerned I'll repeat Charleston Heston: "IN MY COLD DEAD HANDS"

I will volunteer any amount of time to make sure this person does NOT become ever POTUS along with the slimy hag out of the same state....!

[Dead Corpse]

Alaska style carry laws for ALL 50 States.

It's the Constitutional thing to do...

This is great. As you know one of the libs biggest arguments is if there are more weapons then accidents increase. I am sure it goes up some but it would be interesting to see how much accidents have gone up while crime has come down.

Is there any statistics on weapon accidents?
