If the facts do not fit the agenda, they are not mentioned.

Classic Orwellian doublethink.

Dr Lott cracked this code close too two decades ago with his book, More Guns, Less Crime.

Since, then any valid study has proven his research:

All their stupid communist agendas have facts against them. Global Warming, guns cause more crime, raise taxes, “debt is good”, spending more on education, etc, etc, etc.

“If the facts do not fit the agenda, they are not mentioned.”

Exactly, just like the Gosnell trial.

Almost a 40% reduction?
That’s so amazing, and totally ignored by the Lame Stream News idiots.

Orwellian doublethink.

You may have seen such "think" already this week when this story broke. "Violence is down so what do you need guns for?"

Those statistics make no sense. How could “gun violence” be down despite the huge increase in private ownership of firearms by law-abiding Americans? I thought guns did bad things or made ordinary people do bad things. This is almost saying that guns in the hands of good people stop criminals from doing bad things, and that can’t be true, can it?

It was reported by homocide detectives in my newspaper (Pittsburgh Tribune Review)that 70% of gun murders in Allegheny county are drug related.

This means that resricting my right to keep and bear arms won't do a damn thing to stop "gun violence", and the slimey politicians know this.

So, what is their real intent?
