once again, playing fast and loose with statistics.

19.5 times higher?  I "might" buy it, if you look at a small section of the statistical database.  But, like many agenda based statistics, the bigger picture is far far more important.

"The United States has an indisputable gun violence problem."???

I have never liked this statement and IMO should be "The United States has an indisputable problem with violence, notably, where criminals use guns."

I'm Just Sayin...

Gun control zealots believe that persons who would commit violent crimes would never violate a gun law.

NSA, the only branch of government that's listening!

I've always argued that statistics should be completely irrelevant when it comes to liberties.

I wouldn't give a flying **** if the suicide rate was 99%, I'd still argue that it is a right to own firearms.
