I think your reply is better than what I came up with other than I had just watched the coming video about how different people grip their handguns. Don't watch it if you are racially prejudiced, though. I do see this grip too often on TV and in movies.

25 years murder-free in 'Gun Town USA....

In March 1982, 25 years ago, the small town of Kennesaw – responding to a handgun ban in Morton Grove, Ill. – unanimously passed an ordinance requiring each head of household to own and maintain a gun.
Since then, despite dire predictions of “Wild West” showdowns and increased violence and accidents, not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender.

Well Alaska is a different world than the rest of the US, so I can understand why someone would want to be armed up there because of animals over criminals. In the US, one doesn't have to worry too much about a bear.

Thank you, God, for the brain. I'm sorry you didn't have enough brain matter to spread the wealth.

From the Karate Kid, 1984

Daniel: So, karate's fighting. You train to fight.
Miyagi: That what you think?
Daniel: [pondering] No.
Miyagi: Then why train?
Daniel: [thinks] So I won't have to fight.
Miyagi: [laughs] Miyagi have hope for you.



Miyagi has hope for this town in Utah.
Crime drop in a city or town of 1,000 inhabitants? That is too funny.

This might be the corniest Karate Kid reference we're likely to see this year on CityData...

Hey wait a second--Mr. Miyagi didn't carry any guns...he just knew karate.

The latest statistics available – for the year 2005 – show the rate at 2,027 per 100,000. Meanwhile, the population has skyrocketed to 28,189.

By comparison, the population of Morton Grove, the first city in Illinois to adopt a gun ban for anyone other than police officers, has actually dropped slightly and stands at 22,202, according to 2005 statistics. More significantly, perhaps, the city’s crime rate increased by 15.7 percent immediately after the gun ban, even though the overall crime rate in Cook County rose only 3 percent. Today, by comparison, the township’s crime rate stands at 2,268 per 100,000.
This was not what some predicted.

It is not nice to throw facts like these at THEM when THEY are playing around with each other.

Have you failed to see any of the things coming out of the 'White House and the Biden committee? One would think that you have been in hiding when the threads defending some of those things are posted here.

I will bet that from her looks she would be more likely to be attacked by a rapist or three than you would. Oh wait, I don't know what your sex is or what you look like so I shouldn't say that, but I did anyway.

Yes I have been paying attention what has been coming out of the White House, I also know that Biden has to report back to Obama by the end of the month, so until that happens everything is just speculation and predictions and we all know how accurate the Cons are when it comes to predictions, President Romney.
