For those who think that tougher gun laws and fewer mass shootings aren't connected, new research begs to differ.
The study found there are more mass shootings in U.S. states with weaker gun control laws and higher levels of gun ownership, and that difference has increased in recent years.
Columbia University researchers tracked nationwide data and identified 344 mass shootings between 1998 and 2015. They also assessed gun laws in different states, using a score from 0 (completely restrictive) to 100 (completely permissive). |

Why does palm like this continue to be spewed???
Gun control has never been proved to have any effect on crime rates. |

The Brady Campaign has a long history of cherry picking data and twisting statistics in support of their extreme anti gun bias. But here's a simple fact. Great Britain has the sort of gun control that the Brady bunch can only dream of, no handguns, severe restrictions on rifles and shotguns, no right to self defense for victims. And in this Brady utopia they have a violent crime rate only five times greater than we in the US. Go figure. |

"Palm" in my first post should be PABLUM. I hate auto-correct. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
