Ever hear of John Lott? He's the only person to do real, extensive research into the statistics of guns and gun violence, and his findings are not what the anti-gunners want to hear.
You should know that he was not looking for that kind of result when he began the research.
His detractors and other gun opponents don't have the same research to back up their opinions. In fact, they mostly just mi-quote his books in order to back up their own claims.
To those of you doing all this arguing against guns:
How much of what you think you know is verifiable? Based on real research? There is an awfull lot of old-wife's tales, and urban myth, and "common knowledge" out there. All bullshit.
Do some research on Australia and Britain's ban on gun ownership, and see what kind of results have been showing up there.
I don't know why I'm posting again. I know you won't be swayed by logic or facts, or be willing to look at this objectively. That's why it's such a usefull subject for politicians. Emotional subjects are what get people elected, because facts don't matter.
