This week my TV show is on gun control. I interviewed activist Leah Barrett, who wants stricter gun laws.
I pointed out that after most states loosened gun laws to let people carry guns, 29 peer-reviewed studies examined the effect. Eighteen found less crime, 10 found no difference and only one found an increase. “Which studies?†Barrett snapped. “John Lott’s? His research has been totally discredited.â€
“Discredited†is a word the anti-gun activists use a lot. It’s as if they speak from the same playbook.
“Lott is a widely discredited ideologue,†said a spokeswoman for Everytown — a Bloomberg-funded gun control group.
“Completely discredited†is how the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy described Lott’s research.

[[His research has been totally discredited.†“Discredited†is a word the anti-gun activists use a lot.]]
They use it liberally without EVER using any facts to back their claim that it was discredited up
That’s how liberals operate- just make outrageous claims- demand that their opponents provide one proof after another- ignore those proofs, make more outrageous claims- demand more proof by their opponent
This is why stepping in dog crap is preferable to talking to a liberal
Almost as much as the GOPe hates Trump.
“They really, really, really hate Dr. John don’t they? “
Dr. John, The Night Tripper?
“Global Warming studies have been discredited.”
Hey... I like it
I knew somebody would drag THAT Dr. John in to it. LOL!
In fact there are many states where citizens with multiple firearms outside major metropolitan, crime-ridden areas (with strict gun laws), there is little or no gun violence .
I checked a homicide chart on my own hometown of La Crosse, Wis. which covered homicides for a twenty year period or so. Many years there were none or just one or two homicides (not all gun-related) in a metro area of over one hundred thousand with many area citizens having firearms some multiple firearms.
(For what it's worth, when the wife and I went house-hunting about ten years ago, while checking out many houses we found more than a few with hunting rifles and shotguns left out in the open.)
The gun haters have to promote the myth that average Americans go crazy in the presence of firearms. In that assumption is the typical liberal contempt for middle-class Americans. To liberals, average Americans can't be trusted with firearms....or automobiles, or large homes, etc.
The truth is the average American is very well aware of the dangers of careless firearm use. Which is why in my part of the country most shootings and gun-related homicides are committed by career criminals.
He’s an awesome Boogie Woogie piano player! Watch the movie Cannery Row sometime. Fun movie, and Dr. John does the music.
Because Trump is not a conservative! You can wish it all you want, but it will not change the fact that Trump is RINO as RINO can be. I’m at a loss as to how so many on Free Republic have come to support the guy. I will not cast a vote in the Presidential election if Trump is the nominee. I will cast my vote for the remainder of offices on the ballot, but I will leave the box for President blank.
Well, if she was my wife....
Libs can’t make logical or rational arguments. Conservatives already take that side after analysis of the facts, so to oppose us they must simply resort to emoting, lies and personal attacks.
Trump is, like it or not, an outstanding nationalist candidate - the opposite of Obama. He unapologetically loves this country, while Obama hates it (while pretending to care for it). Trump has many flaws, to be sure, but perhaps you should consider the wisdom of the 2 gentlemen below:
“The perfect is the enemy of the good.” General George S. Patton, Jr.
“In politics, if you get 70% of what you want, take it and run away.” Rough quote from Ronald Reagan.
The GOPe is generally composed of a bunch of self serving, self-interested liars who will say anything to obtain or keep a place at their feeding trough in Washington. I have little use for them. I’d rather face the other party, because at least you know where they stand, they won’t knife you in the back because you already know not to trust them. they are, again generally, no more interested in genuine conservatism then Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi are interested in genuine liberalism. They are politicians, interested in power. PERIOD.
I'll wait. You wouldn't have to jail too many employers. It's not that hard. 20 years with no parole sounds about right. What is CNN or MSNBC going to say? They HATE Bosses. Suddenly the Guv is locking them up. Now, imagine 30,000,000 suddenly unemployed illegals exporting themselves.
Look what an honest DA is doing in Albany. Imagine him in Chicago, or as Attorney General! (The guy is a democrat, yet honest. We're talking Last Unicorn, here.) Trump is the only one who might, possibly, consider such a move, just to piss off the current dictatorship.
