The Myth of Gun Control
Good to see the mainstream paying attention...even in small doses.
Way to go Kennesaw! Georgia just moved up in my book. Check these out...
Here's this incredibly intelligent and courageous woman in front of her elected Representatives:
And here's one (obviously very biased, mind you...but the facts are still there) regarding Clinton's gun ban, also known as the "Brady Bill" to which you heard the lady above refer in her testimony:
I also thought I'd point out that this is the very same ban that Hillary just said she wanted to resurrect, despite the fact that it did no good and didn't impact crime - even those committed with the very types of weapons that the Clinton ban outlawed - even a little. |

Ladies? Pay attention. I know it's bumper sticker wisdom, but like the man said: When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. |

Notice the common theme of "No charges were filed against the shooter, who was acting in self-defense."

Damn Mike, some of this crap turns my stomach!
I've seen more of my share of gun violence and it NEVER gets easier to watch. Even on video! There is hope as long as folks have the right to defend themselves!

As Americans we are Blessed with our gun rights. Can you imagine facing a criminal gang or angry mob without a firearm?

Ghost mentioned wanting to know more about this kind of stuff. Looking for information for him, I tripped over this. Runs quite contrary to the facts and stats we've seen here. I also didn't know things had gotten so out of control in Britain and Australia. I believe this is an NRA vid, so chances are it's a little bit overblown, but I couldn't get over the throngs of protestors - nor the validity of some of the arguments made by those citizens who had their guns taken from them.
