No Correlation Between Gun Control and Less Violent Crime

A Harvard Study titled "Would Banning Firearms Reduce Murder and Suicide?" looks at figures for "intentional deaths" throughout continental Europe and juxtaposes them with the U.S. to show that more gun control does not necessarily lead to lower death rates or violent crime.

Because the findings so clearly demonstrate that more gun laws may in fact increase death rates, the study says that "the mantra that more guns mean more deaths and that fewer guns, therefore, mean fewer deaths" is wrong.

OBAMA BYPASSES CONGRESS, GOES AFTER GUNS...
Striving to take action where Congress would not, the Obama administration announced new steps Thursday on gun control, curbing the import of military surplus weapons and proposing to close a little-known loophole that lets felons and others circumvent background checks by registering guns to corporations.

Four months after a gun control drive collapsed spectacularly in the Senate, President Barack Obama added two more executive actions to a list of 23 steps the White House determined Obama could take on his own to reduce gun violence. With the political world focused on Mideast tensions and looming fiscal battles, the move signaled Obama's intent to show he hasn't lost sight of the cause he took up after 20 first graders and six adults were gunned down last year in an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

Obama Disarms Americans
As President Barack Obama has outwardly attempted to curtail Americans’ Constitutional Second Amendment right to bear arms, his Administration has approved huge increases in defense spending and export sales. The Administration is now seeking to eliminate stringent State Department controls on exports and foreign licensing of dozens of categories of weapons and technology from the United States Munitions List (USML) by transferring control to the pro-business Commerce Department.

I wish "Oblamer" was along with them...He did an outstanding job of feeding the DUPEE's BS last night

"totus" is reading bull shyt from his teleprompter that is so convoluted that even the left-wing lame stream moron media is beginning to get terrified that "totus" is going to destroy the liberal/socialist movement in the nation!!!!!

The "totus" regime and the left-wing lame stream moron media are mystified as to what the DC shooters motive may have been?
Yesterday it was all about an AR-15 and today it turns out he had a shotgun and a couple of handguns?????
A hint for the clueless, I saw a list of 7 of the 12 that died and there were no Roscoe's, Rufus's or Trayvon's on the list.
The tell will be if NO PICTURES of the victims are forth coming!!!!!

Why the Media's Fixation on the AR-15 Is Foolish

To listen to gun control gun proponents talk, the AR-15 is a heinous "killing machine" that needs to be banned because it gives a shooter the ability to kill more people than would otherwise be possible with a different gun. On September 16, Piers Morgan said the availability of AR-15s makes "mass shootings in America" worse.

Yet Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis did not use an AR-15. So how was he able to kill 12 people in such a short window of time?

He was able to kill so many people because he used the best close-quarters gun anyone can use--a shotgun. And the effectiveness of the shotgun once again shines a light on the fact that the fear-mongering around the AR-15 is both inaccurate and foolish.

An AR-15 is a rifle--it fires one projectile at a time. When you take one to the range and shoot it, it fires one bullet every time you pull the trigger (that bullet is less than 3/10ths of an inch wide).

A shotgun is just that--a gun that shoots "shot." Like an AR-15, a semi-automatic shotgun fires one round each time you pull the trigger. The difference is that its shells contain numerous shots--small balls of lead--that produce a "pattern," or circle of lead, that might be 7 inches, 10 inches, or 15 inches wide (or more) depending on the choke of the shotgun and the distance between the target and the gun.

Whether you are 10 feet from the target or 50 yards from the target, an AR-15's bullet remains a single projectile less than 3/10ths of an inch wide. But with a shotgun, even if the target is extremely close to the gun--6 to 8 feet--a shooter can hit two targets at once. At a medium range--12 to 20 feet--a shooter could hit two or three targets at once because the pattern of the shot gets wider the further the target is from the gun.

The effectiveness of a shotgun blast depends on numerous things--including the weight of the shot used. Shot weights are signified on shell boxes as "No. 4" or "No. 7," etc. The smaller the number the bigger the shot.

Think about it this way--you could give one shooter an AR-15 with a 30-round magazine and give another shooter of equal experience a 12 gauge shotgun and 20 rounds of ammo. If the shooting is in close quarters, the person shooting with the shotgun will double and could triple the number of hits of the person with the AR-15.

Drop an individual with a shotgun into a gun free zone--where the victims cannot shoot back--and the amount of carnage that could be done was witnessed in a small degree on September 16.

gun free zone

I love that term! How many people have to get killed in gun free zones to show who actually benefits from such a zone? Saw a bleeding heart liberal wench arguing the virtue of a gun free zone for "kindergarten" children. Playing the "innocent little child" card with emotion just a hard as she could. The sad part is she gets 1 vote like very body else and she is so busy-body motivated she will never stop complaining and putting forth her misguided "solutions". That is until the next child is killed, then more "solutions" on the books.

The thing that must enrage the "gun grabbers" is gun sales around DC are booming after the Naval yard shooting!!!!!

Some FLEEBAGGERS are getting a lesson as to what happens when they oppose the WILL OF THE VOTERS!!!!!
A couple of FLEEBAGGERS in Colorado were recalled already for their violations of the 2nd Amendment!!!!!
Now a cow sized FLEEBAGGER ditz has resigned from the Colorado Senate rather then be ousted by a recall election!!!!!
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is that queen of drag from fla. Oboy wont take you guns but they wont be much good without bullets.

This is just another example of the liberal progessive movement trying to control every aspect of peoples lives.

Here's a question for the left. Why is it never the person using the guns fault? but instead you would rather blame a firearm for these terrible crimes.

The nut cases will probably say that the store owner was wrong..

Hey shooting him 10 times is bad gun control first or second shot should have killed him.

As for NY ban on anything over 5 rounds another reason not to live there. Been to NY 5 times and never found anything there I wanted to be there for.But when your chasing the points(IHRA) you have to go to all national events even if in such a crapy place.Bet they would hate the new 25 round mag.s I made for our remington 270'semi auto's. Wouldn't shoot that many for play but in case of defence not a problem. Also 15 round mag for my custom 7mm mauser. HAte to have to hold barrle after that many rounds,after 5 its pretty hot.

Grandma, Did FT.Hood change their weapon policy when Obama became President?. Why do military professionals with more gun experience than all of you clowns put together have that policy? I take it from your map there were no murders anywhere else in Texas? Chicago gangs have tons of guns and shoot each other daily. How does having more guns help the Chicago gangs defend themselves? Your logic says it should. Must be nice to have it both ways whenever you want eh???

One overriding reason, it is a government run program, supporting a government controlled policy, it's the military. The people are suppose to be free to use the democratic process to decide. Not centralized edict.
