I don't understand using Chicago as the yardstick to "support" the position that tougher gun control laws correlate to more firearm deaths.

Of course Chicago has a lot of gun deaths, it also has 3 million people.

---------------

Study after study regarding State laws and per capita gun deaths come to the same conclusion: -- the states with the loosest laws have the higher proportion of gun deaths.

examples----Alaska for one, and then entire southern United States - highest gun deaths

examples: Massachusettes has the toughest gun control laws and the least gun deaths

how many times does this clear correlation need to be pointed out?

Pull out a broad sword and a gun and see which one gets more attention.

Rhetorical questions abound around gun threads.

What if they asked a rhetorical question and nobody understood it? Is it still rhetorical, or does it graduate to a "Great Unknown?"

What if we banned gunpowder and then we can just bludgeon each other with rifle butts and pistol-whip our GFs.

Typical ignorant LIBTARD DUMBASS comment.

Way to come out classy.

It was a joke. Something you'd get except for the operectomy you had.

Operectomy that's where they connect your optic nerve to your rectum and give you a shitty outlook on life.

My local gun store requires all firearms to be unloaded and cased or sleeved prior to entering the store. They must be some wacko pinko commie gun control nuts. Or perhaps, having functioning brains in their heads, they realize that having loaded guns carried in public by untrained people is dangerous.

Georgia has now joined Arizona on my boycotted state list. Bloomberg and/or Gabby Giffords will get my dollars instead.

I don't want to take anyone's guns, but if you want to carry a loaded gun near me or my kids, I want you appropriately trained and regularly refreshed. If you want to buy a gun from anyone or anywhere, I want you to prove your eligibility, and if you sell it I want you to ensure the the eligibility of the buyer.

There will be no change in Georgia one way or the other.

The only statistically significant change will be the increase in soaked panties among the hand wringing set.

Regardless of anybody's sentiments regarding guns, it's pretty clear that the bar is not set NEARLY high enough in the issuance of driver's licenses! A whole lot of unnecessary maimings and deaths caused by people that are NOT "appropriatedly trained and regularly refreshed."

Somehow, people don't seem to think too much about it....
