@Becky,

General statments do not an argument make... but specifics do... Please be more specific... What "fantasy" and what "sare tactics" are you typing about?

People want the right to carry a concealed weapon into a place of "worship"...LOL....what a truly perverse country this is...what a bunch of maroons...

Christine from Westchester...

I think I just answered your question.. below...

One reason why it is DIFFICULT to gather "data" in defending a poistion on "Gun Regulation" is that the NRA has managed to influence regualtion to pass laws where it is "Against the Law" to collecto or publish specific "gun" data regarding "type of gun".. but, it is perfectly legal to collect and publish data regarding "who the gunowners are"... Seems kinda strange doesn't it? When the "survival" of the gun manufacturer is more important than the privacy of the individual.

The only times in this country's history gun control was actually enacted was in the context of blacks demanding gun rights, during the rise of the Black Panther movement and after the Civil War.

Why does this woman keep saying "Sure.." before she answers every question? Does she have to think about whether or not she'll answer the question? Is she giving the interviewer permission to have the answer? Is she relieved that she'll be able to answer it? Is this how she normally has a conversation?

Most often journalists and bloggers try to compare "Gun Regulation" to "Gun Violence" however I never see a "Bang for the Buck" reporting or analysis. It has well been accepted that Firearms are more responsibile for "suicide deaths" rather than the "death of others".. a number greater than 50% every year... So, I decided to merge the best data we have in both areas "Suicide Rates by State" and "Gun Laws ratings by State".. and here are the results.. Let the numbers speak for themselves...

It is exactly that...Rhetoric based in fantasy...scare tactics to rally the blind followers into action

the guest uses "gun control" very broadly. There are already a lot of gun control laws. What type of gun control is she advocating (as she is clearly an advocate). What type of research has been done to prove what types of laws are actually effective (instead of just managing the already law abiding gun owners)?
