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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
