Demonrat lies, liars using statistics.

If they want to take our handguns, let them try. 25 states, HALF THE NATION, does not require ANY KIND OF LICENSE to carry a handgun.

People in risky neighborhoods get guns.

Riddle solved.

I’m proud to tell the man from the government that there are NO handguns in my home. In fact, no weapons of any kind, not even sharp knives. We just buy ground beef or turkey so we don’t need anything sharper than a butter knife. Like President Joe, I like my pudding. That American Rifleman magazine that comes to my mailbox is because the letter carrier is careless about sorting the mail.

I’d love to know what “research” they did to come to that insane conclusion.

This ahole just solved the coming hunger threat due to a shortage of fertilizer problem around the world.

His study is so full of bullshit that all you have to do is print millions of copies,shred them and dump them on the ground around the world. Fertilizer problem solved.

The study has several shortcomings. For example, the researchers said they could not determine which victims were killed by the handgun owners or with the in-home weapons. They couldn’t account for illegal guns and looked only at handguns, not rifles or other firearms.

Gun-grabbers have been peddling this BS 'latest study shows' narrative for decades. It was a lie then; it's a lie now.

Same sh!t, different decade.

I use modeling code in my work. My old boss was unhappy with some of the numbers, but they were right. It got to the point in the argument where I asked her “what numbers do you want to see? I can make it happen.”

That’s the correct attitude.

I told all my contract manager that they were not paying me to lie to them.

If you don’t like the truth, I’ll have another contract by lunchtime.

Why should handguns be registered? Sounds like an infringement of the right to bear arms.

People that drive automobiles are more likely to get in an accident than those who do not.

I liked ‘67 442s in HS (’63-67), along w/ early ‘66-67 GTOs and ‘66-67 Nova SSs.

I have one of these now:

Reminds me of lyrics from a meatloaf song "Stop right there".
