There wasn't a single liberal talking point about gun control that he didn't miss.

I especially love the bigotry toward gun owners. If anyone stereotyped minorities the way this fool did, they would be ostracized by liberals for all of eternity.

I love this. Our elected representatives have to do something we clearly don't want them to do, lose their seats as a result of breach of contract, and the law, once in place, will magically stay there and save the country.

Liberal fantasyland. They should sell tickets.

Thank goodness that guns are illegal in Chicago! Chicago’s murder stats speak louder than anything this clown could possibly write.

Why don’t we compare Chicago and Detroit crime rates to Montpelier VT?

So why haven’t we followed in the Aussies’ footsteps? There are two problems — politicians catering to the gun lobby, and a lack of media responsibility.

The media relentlessly pounds the issue and the anti-gun lobby is well funded including taxpayer dollars (e.g. "science", "health" care and Bloomberg type nonsense). The culture and effects of gun grabbing is described here: http://www.davekopel.com/2a/Foreign/Australia.pdf

...gun-toting, ill-informed NRA members who miss the days of the West being wild; brainwashed Fox News viewers with a confederate flag painted on their pickup who “need” an AR-15 for hunting ducks...
It's refreshing to see a gun control advocate present a logical, reasoned argument that doesn't rely on ad hominem tactics. Oh, wait...

Only looking at “firearms homicide” is intellectually dishonest. It is overall unjustified homicides that matter. If firearms homicides go down, but overall homicides state the same or go up, you have not gained anything but disarming some of the population.

In Australia the academic concensus is that the gun confiscation did not change the crime rates, in spit of a quick blip up and then down. It is on the same track it was on before the draconian gun laws were put into effect.

I did some analysis of gun violence a few years ago. Using FBI crime statistics, if you take out the gang-on-gang homocides for just the cities of NYC, LA, CHI and a few more cities... The U.S. then has a homocide rate lower than the U.K. Or any country in Europe.

“Kevin Litman-Navarro”? WTF? He’s so de-masculinized he takes a three-word name?

Hey Kev, hate to break this to ya, but guns are absotively posilutely ILLEGAL in Chi-town.

All those shootings are the RESULTS of guns restrictions, genius.

But then you don’t really care, now do you? What you care about is the little gold star you get for writing this dreck and showing your loyalty to the Party.
