Gun Control & RKBA

(2,724 posts)donP: Let's see, gun crime and murders are about half what they were in 1994 .... 50% reduction in 20 years with concealed carry now in all 50 states? Still not good enough?
You left out one important factoid, gun ownership rates declining since 1994 by about 35%, concomittantly with the decline in violent crime rates. Personal gun ownership rates declined from about 35% in 1994 to ~25% now (GSS and Pew, 2 reputable polls).
Gee, imagine that, not noting that the violent crime rate decrease is correlated with a gun ownership rate decrease, leaving readers to think that GUNS somehow contributed to the violent crime rate decrease.
donP: What do you propose to make it even better ... that will both pass constitutional legal scrutiny and get past a GOP House and Senate?
You are chest puffing about the GOP senate & house of unrepresentatives? shouldn't you be posting on republican underground?
donP: Petitions to repeal concealed carry in your state? Petitions to repeal the 2nd amendment? Going to town halls to speak out about local gun ranges? Swatting concealed carriers? Writing several checks to Brady or Bloomberg's multiple groups? Putting a gun control bumper sticker on someone else car?
Supporting gun control efforts in general. Your above suggestions are a combination of unrealistic provocations on your part, snarky remarks, or silly nonsense.
Better than you creating another thread based on your own intense hatred of gun control, premised by a blatant lie, eh? which you never did rebut, since you couldn't.
