    Our liberals here in the US feel much the same.
    IF only they could successfully disarm the citizens when then could be forced to march and think in lock step with the leftists.

    I can honestly see where one predisposed to be anti gun might find some issues with how it's written. BUT having read it through it several times I think you're being a bit harsh on his compilation of facts and figures. Unless you have knowledge of intentionally written misinformation it seems to me to be a much needed source for many useful and telling statistics. Naturally some people will ignore any and all information that doesn't reinforce their preconceived notions. That's human nature.
    I see, you mean the statement has been proven false or only that it hasn't been proved true to your satisfaction? There is a difference. (at this point without further research I don't know one way or the other)

    By "people" do you mean the murdering criminals?

    IF it's not too personal, what state do you reside in?

  6. Yet it was not liberals that started the erosion of gun rights in the UK it was Conservatives.

    I am predisposed to the dislike of bullet-point factoid formats discussing / defending anything remotely serious.
    Its never been proven to be true and I am inclined to side with the Home Office and police on this one, I believe the original accusation of tampering with the stats came from the Guardian.

    Oh I saw that the first time, I was merely pointing out that it's the liberals here that would like to do the same thing.

    Duly noted, although I must say to me a fact is a fact. But I get your point.

    Well, we've flooded the nation with guns: That ain't workin'.
    I agree that taking all the guns away won't work.
    So, do any of you believe that we can do something in moderation to help with the solution to all the gun violence?
    Or, does the left just keep yelling against guns while the right keeps promoting the opposite?
