Gun control advocates are wrong again...
24.7 million criminal background checks for gun purchases have already been processed as of November 30th – that’s 1.6 million more than were processed in all of 2015. But the sharp increase in armed Americans could also hand Obama an unintentional achievement. Could the greatest gun salesman in American history also be credited with helping the violent crime rate to decrease 16% over the past decade?
Studies compiled from interviews of felony prisoners in 10 state correctional facilities revealed that 56 percent said that criminals would not attack a potential victim that was known to be armed. With gun sales on the rise and violent crime rates at an all-time low, think the gun control agenda will finally see for themselves that Americans being responsibly armed is a good thing? As Gun Sales Continue to Set Records, Violent Crime Hits Historic Lows |

you, the good guy, could save their sorry ass by shooting their assailant, and they would still cry about too many guns. they have no hope of seeing the light.

Since the mid 1960s to the mid 1990s gun ownership rates went down, gun laws got less citzens friendly and crime rates rose.
ForM the mid 199s till now gun ownership rates have gone up, gun laws have gotten more citizen friendly and crime rates have dropped. The left want more gun control not to reduce crime but to make us more dependent on the government. |

and at the same time, it became much easier to obtain a concealed carry permit in almost all states.

I agree it's not just the left who abuse the citizenry because the elite think they know what's best for the rest of the world. I do think, however, the left specializes in the "you'll hurt someone" bull s**t. That and tree hugger overreaction.

An uber liberal friend of mine says she doesn't want to outlaw guns, but wants "sensible gun control." On the issue of automatic weapons, she said "I don't think anyone needs a gun that fires more than one bullet."
Me...Uh, you do know that even the wild, wild west revolvers held more than one bullet, right? Yes, these are the type people preaching gun control. |

She said she just supports some guy who wants gun control and lectures about it apparently, and agrees with him. She sent me a video of him, but I don't recall who it was. |

I turned an anti into a believer by just taking him to the range. Guns are less scary if you know how to handle one safely.
