    With 42,000+ posts you should have learned by now LuLu never provides proof of anything. Hit and run trolling is the preferred method.

    So guns are not used for murdering, just to kill themselves. I thought you libs were into that killing one self stuff.

    Well, I guess I am sorry I brought the story about Mathew Shepard up, I guess because he was gay nobody cares.

    What about rape in Wyoming, higher than the national average, but who cares because other places are worst. I think its kind of stupid to make people think they are safe just because of statistics.

    It is stupid to think that people are safe just because of statistics. I always laugh at the people who say "Oh we don't even have to lock our doors in my neighborhood".

    Shore is fun to watch a bunch of folks explain why facts don't matter in a particular case. Ya'll have fun now.

    That's my point exactly. You have to pick similar states, you can't compare Alaska and New York's gun crime rates just by looking at the rate itself. There are secondary causes at play such as wealth and population density.

    Lower gun crime is not the reason I support gun freedom. Rather, it's because gun control restricts or makes illegal legitimate use of firearms. That's tyranny regardless of the slight statistical benefits supposedly attributed to gun control areas.

    Careful. You seem to be the only Aussie on this forum with that stance. Would hate to see them gang up on you! Dont you know you are supposed to just post negative posts about America in every thread? What is wrong with you ;)

    On a serious note good to see another poster who posts about facts and logic and not emotion over this topic.

    This 'study' was nothing more than hastily constructed agitprop to support the left's liberty grabbing agenda. Honest methodology had no overlap with their procedures.
