Doesn't matter. Lott made statements in his book that "98 percent of the time that people use guns defensively, they merely have to brandish a weapon to break off an attack." --- and he had no data to back that up from Gallup or anywhere else.
guess it would have been better if those 98% would have shot and killed those crooks. at least the criminal population would have been alot less.
Yes I do. The common theme here is GUNS. Are you catching on yet?
We have to get rid of these guns. We have to severely restrict just who can own a gun and especially who can carry one.
tell you what, if you want firearms out of the hands of the citizens of the USA, then do these things 1st. disarm the entire federal and state governments of the USA to include the military. disarm all police, sheriffs and leo types, disarm all criminals, remove the UN and their flunkies from the soil of the USA. let us know when that is all done, then we might turn in our firearms. until that happens, you are just spitting into the ocean.
According to the Washington Post, the working group on gun control led by Joe Biden is considering some of the following recommendations for gun control.
- universal background checks for firearm buyers
- track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database
- strengthen mental health checks
- stiffer penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors
The official recommendations will come out later this month, but supposedly these are some of the things being considered.
Very, very weak. Not even an assault weapon ban or a limit on magazine size. Hell, something like 90% of the guns used in crimes are bought in the second hand market so requiring all gun sales to go through licensed gun dealers only would shut down the sales of guns over the internet or at swap meets. Also as of right now no background checks are needed for the sale of second hand guns. I'd like to see the unlicensed defacto gun dealers shut down; that's where someone buys a gun legally but then immediately resells it second hand often at a good mark up because they know the person they're selling it to can't pass the background check. Make all sales go through licensed dealers, period.

Obviously another emotionally driven lack of common sense statement. Why do focus on the guns?
Why not focus on eliminating criminals?
How do you propose the common law abiding citizen protect themselves and their families?
