Among the statements found in the report:
"...advocates of gun control have never argued that they want to deny individuals the ability to protect themselves against criminals."
That's odd. Sarah Brady's bunch, the so-called Violence Policy Center, the misnamed "Million" Mom March and many other gun ban groups are all on record opposing concealed carry for self-defense -- even under the strictest of licensing. They are all on record supporting gun bans. VPC wants a total ban on all handguns, when handguns are the most effective, most affordable, easiest to use personal self-defense device ever devised for human beings -- and the Brady Klan went to court supporting such handgun bans as the one in Morton Grove, Illinois.
In other words, the Government-funded, Government-published, Government-promoted author of that statement is an obnoxious liar.
Then there's this insult to your intelligence:
"In the English colonies, as recent scholarship has shown, private gun ownership was also relatively limited. ... One scholarly study holds that less than 14 percent of the adult white male population, those otherwise eligible to own guns, actually possessed firearms in 1790. At the time the states adopted the Second Amendment, then, it is fair to say that a considerable measure of gun control, not an unlimited right to own firearms, was the rule throughout the 13 states."
Is this alleged "scholar" the debunked and defrocked "professor" Michael Bellesiles -- the lying "historian" forced to leave his tenured position after publishing a pack of lies? If not, who else has made such a claim in "recent scholarship", and why didn't we hear about it?
