Gun control has been a divisive topic in American discourse lately, and as Elam discussed the pros and cons of gun control she offered the opinion that guns are not needed, even for self defense.
So, about gun control. Its a hot topic nowadays. The pros of gun control are less guns mean a safer world, said Elam. Gun control laws are correlated to lower rates of violence. Guns are not needed to defend against government. The key to protecting our society is information, and guns are not needed, even for self defense.

Liberals wet dream would be Hitler’s Germany II.
Tell that to victims of rape. Tell the police to disarm. And Secret Service agents. And militaries.
“The key to protecting our society is information”
Yeah, I’ll call information the next time someone is breaking into my house.
Another government bobble head who couldn’t find their ass with both hands.
“The key to protecting our society is information”
Mao Tse Tung had something to say on this subject.
I will smile if this snowflake gets mugged.
Under these idiots that is what you will have to do. Why? Because they will move us back to the future when that is what we used to do on the telephone when we need help.
And the voice at the other side of the switchboard would ask in a nasally tone. "Number please?" Ala Laugh-In.
And disarm the guy that guards the DA’s office where she works, while we’re at it. In fact, to show good faith disarm him first.
What a dumb bit*h.
When a bunch of criminals break into her house and rape her, she’s going to shout statistics at them instead of shooting them. Idiot broad.
Liberals tend to forget that survival of the fittest is still being contested here on the third planet, and if a people become too civilized to do what’s necessary to survive in an uncivilized world, they won’t survive.
Lately? A falsehood and a cliche all in one sentence.
She’s an old maid. She never married. She’s about to close up the library! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SLDMMGzkyI
No silly. She simply dials 411 and hands the phone to the intruders. “Is this the party to whom I am speaking?”
I did not realize how safe the world was back before guns! They want us to return to the "Good old days!"
Meanwhile this same government (with their eager puppets in the media) does its best to conceal, distort or outright lie about nearly everything and persecute those who go outside of official paths to discover what is really happening. So much for information saving us when the government wants to disarm us both literally and on the knowledge front.
This is in Albany, Georgia. Her “statistics” are right from the anti-Second Amendment playbook.
She probabaly is just reading from an email she was sent from a anti Second Amendment group.
That fact that she did so is bad. Maybe she can be educated, but she may be a committed liberal.
To be fair, there's a smidgen of a chance that a theory from one poster on the original site is true. She might just be stating pros and cons in an impartial manner, and the anti-gun appearing bias is a hatchet job by the newspaper. It's not like we would put this past the media.
But 99% chance she's just an idiot.
Using your much heralded statistics by Obama this week, that crime since the 1990’s has been halved would be a good place to start that discussion.
Gun ownership has also doubled during that same period.
So the correlation is?
