You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.” - Adolf Hitler “If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.” -Oscar Wilde Have a nice day, may God bless you :D |

That would confuse the sheep and lend credence to the argument they dont care to listen to. What is disturbing is that all these places like shitcago, nyc, dc, detroit and a few others have the most draconian laws but have the most crime. Who woulda thought huh.

Most have a strong connection, family and even cultural, to the south. Northern cities exploded in out of control gun related violence and crime from the late 60s onwards, exactly when the migration of many African Americans from the south really picked up steam and has long since peaked. They brought with them the cultural habit of settling scores with violence and the acceptable use of guns, more common in the south than the north. There was also and still is to a degree a culture clash. Traditional southern based African American culture is a so-called honor culture, where people can be easily offended and respond with aggressiveness and violence to defend their sense or honor and respect. Northern culture isn't. |

What's the overall death rate not just gun related, but everything? What's the overall violent crime rate, suicide rate, accidental death rate, car accident rate, etc.? Any place where firearms are more common [especially states with a large rural area] will naturally have more firearm related deaths. |

Maine in northern New England is the most rural state east of the Mississippi. Firearms are commonplace. It's not on the top of this list. It also has a low violent crime rate, lowest in the country along with Vermont and N.H. |

Chicago vies with L.A. for being the gang capital of America. But Chicago has more black gangs. Black gangs are often totally indiscriminate in who they shoot and who gets caught in crossfire, more-so than Spanish gangs. There's your answer. |

The liberals won't show that and the conservatives won't acknowledge it. Fact is most gun related crimes are commited by criminals and thugs who only know what they see in their culture. Fact law abiding citizens use their weapons millions of times a year to prevent crime against themselves and others. Fact again the liberal media and MSM in general won't discuss these items. Fact the US has killed more kids and innocents in other countries than all the gun deaths in the US combined for the past 100 years. Maybe our policies abroad and our leadership here in the US are the problem. Nah its the scary black guns fault.

It is an agenda being pursued for other purposes and your well being is not one of their purposes. They need these events to sway public opinion in support of their agenda, which has nothing to do with the safety of our children or ourselves. |

These are government statistics which fly directly in the face of the anti-gun agenda. During this period the population grew by almost 60 million and firearm ownership and conceled carry has increased massively. Of course the media will never address those facts and most people are too lazy to take the 30 seconsa required to get to the data.
