Guns without human input can only do three things:

1. Rust.

2. Collect dust.

3. Scare liberals.

Genius at work. Seriously. This guy gets it. I am not a huge gun fan, but I understand that the perceived availability of guns contributing to crimes is MORONIC.

Indoor exercise isn't adequate exercise. No wind resistance, humidity, elements, variable terrain. January in New York isn't even that cold. It almost never dips below zero in New York (unless you are up in altitude). Try the Midwest.

It is no coincidence that the fittest states are cooler climates (Colorado, Minnesota, New York)

Not a huge gun nut, but I will protest alongside gun-toters for a variety of reasons. Nobody seems to realize that guns don't actually kill people, but idiots do...

Ohhh brother... the "oppressive state" that has rules in place to keep people from acting like total idiots.

I'm not really anti-gun. The second Amendment is cut and dry. However, that doesn't mean it isn't without scrutiny. Guns don't kill people; the idiot kills people when he pulls the trigger. Data is pretty clear: more lenient gun laws have a direct correlation to more idiots with guns. More idiots with guns equals more gun deaths.

Availability of guns has an almost perfect correlation to gun related deaths. It isn't a coincidence that New York City has some of the lowest gun homicide rates for any large (>1 million) Metro, including all the southern pro-gun cities. It is just common sense.

OMG. This post completely deletes your reputability. No proof exists for any statements you make, in fact, they make you look like a moron. Availability and lenient gun laws have NO direct correlation. Stop paying attention to CNN. It makes you look like an idiot. NO EVIDENCE EXISTS. Post links if you think otherwise. Typical liberal moron, believes anything the media tells him. What an idiot. Try believing what the evidence tells you rather than what some moron with barely a bachelor's degree does.

I don't know how much this is worth, but it may be of interest to some: States With the Most Gun Violence - 24/7 Wall St.

More relevant: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/01/op...ence.html?_r=0

Alaska is an odd one out, but note the climate of the other 9 listed in the first link.

For the second link, the correlation between gun ownership and rate of gun murders is -0.33, which is nowhere near correlated.

Thanks for the data in support! :-)

This one could and did. Not an original born-NYer but lived there 6 years. Glad to be an ex.
