I'm sure that we will now see Lott on the ABCNNBCBS morning shows.

We *really* need to get some of Lott's books... also "Shooting Back" by Van Wyk.

That's a beautiful chart.
I live in a yellow state and I keep explaining to my wife that our state is not the norm. I didn't realize it myself for a long time. It makes you nutty to be surrounded by nuts.

My dad used to tell me about the Finns and this problem.
In our stupid state of Kalifornia, just the 3 strikes law in about 2 years cleared a lot of professional criminals off the streets, and our crime rate dropped re the good guys/gal getting mugged or worse.
The trial lawyers, left wing mayors, judges, DAs and mediots still try to weaken the law. It ain't working for them.

More guns means less state power, hence they oppose it. Funny, every time that bell rings, someone's at the front door.
I wish more people put the gun question in these terms. We get so strung out on crime and CCW and Assault Weapon this and that. Screw all that. What matters is what you said: More guns in the hands of us, means the state has less power. Everything else is just minutia and subterfuge skillfully wielded by bad guys.

You know, there is a very simple way out of this for the media.
At the very end of the news story, the exact final ultimate sentence of the story should read...
And today, over 200 million guns were not used in a criminal act!
To: FreeRadical
That's the way I look I look at everything the left, and others, do. It is all about the power equation.
Ask a lefty if he/she/it is into "impowering" the people. When they say yes, you got them, although they always squirm.

He was on a local radio talk show hyping his book today. He was very good and it was a great hour segment with some great discussion from callers. The bias against guns in newspapers goes much farther that just headlines. Let's take the Oregonian for example. High school sports are given a lot of play in the sports section, in fact even sports like high school golf during the state finals get pictures and write-ups. Well an Oregon team won the Whistler Boy team junior championship at the National Championships at Camp Perry and I don't remember the Oregonian showing any pictures of them or doing an article. One of the shooters off that team won the High Civilian shooter award also and I don't recall an article on his achievment in the state's largest newspaper.

"It has a bias for the event over the non-event, the thing that actually happened as opposed to the thing that never happened, for the violent over the placid, for the dramatic over the mundane," Waldman said. That's crap.
1) If it bleeds, it leads;
2) Guns are only good in the hands of cops;
3) Guns used to prevent crime? Sorry, that's counter to our agenda and we airbrush it out.
