It’s time for the NRA to get serious.

How about some articles showing that low crime areas are right to carry areas etc.? You know, information based on facts instead of on emotion.

There have been some very good academic studies by professors at Florida State and elsewhere. I’m sure they will be cited in the briefs.

Unfortunatley there is an inherent difficulty in measuring the # of crimes prevented by guns, as opposed to the crime rate itself. Of course, in DC the gun ban has had no positive effects by any measurement - a fact the libs can’t dodge (though no doubt they will shreik that it would have been worse). And of course the DC stats don’t account for people who would have been able to protect themselves and thereby prevent crime if they had been allowed to possess guns.
