Uh, no, it doesn't, you just drew a conclusion that's totally different than what the study actually said. That study's massaging the data harder than a Soap Girl with a million-dollar client. Even then it doesn't support what you just said, notice that the 2% figure is only for specifically...

You can find all sorts of references to the study... https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/unpublished-cdc-study-confirms-2-million-defensive-handgun-uses-annually/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulhsieh/2018/04/30/that-time-the-cdc-asked-about-defensive-gun-uses/?sh=419f7a51299a...

My initial theory was that somebody's smuggling weapons and subverted an Amazon Fulfilment center to ship them disguised as other packages, which nobody would check for guns because everybody knows Amazon doesn't handle firearms. The biggest flaw I see in this is that it doesn't seem to me that...

What do you suppose the odds are Fact Checkers will correct Biden on this?

I need better guns, I definitely don't have anything that liquifies organs. Posted with a favored comment.

This whole thread needs to be read to be believed but this start gives you a good idea where it's going. We're looking at the equal of the "Shoots a 30-clip magazine in half a second" claims here.

There was a mass shooting at Greenwood Park Mall. Three were killed by the gunman. https://apnews.com/article/indiana-mall-shooting-345348912b288dce656083b2422c2fde You're probably not going to hear much of this issue from the MSM. The reason is a a legally armed civilian took out the...

Gangsters and organized crime in Japan are basically so integrated with the government they might as well be their own branch. The gangs have their own newspapers, run their own charity and relief operations, etc...

Gavin Newsom making more gun control in California. I couldn't stop chuckling at "An AR-15 is a weapon of mass destruction."

Yup, just gotta get a form processed by the BATF after a lengthy waiting period... except the BATF has refused to process any since 1992. So either get a full pardon or get your record expunged are the only options and those are only generally available if you're already part of the Elite.

Courts also don't write gun control laws, Legislatures do, so this just wraps back to the original point that the laws are the problem.

Beyond the 2nd, the problem is that if the crime is already committed, changing the penalty afterwards makes it an ex post facto law, specifically forbidden in Article 1 Section 9. Not an amendment at all, one of the most foundational bits of the Constitution written by the founding fathers...

He... um... he managed to make it worse when more senators kept asking him and he realized he wasn't going to be able to weasel forever. Any semi-automatic rifle larger than a .22 that can accept a detachable magazine. That's... almost all of them. Also, he thinks law-abiding civilian gun...

Indeed. The problem is if he said that in congress on camera gun control would be hosed for decades, they really aren't going to want to admit they've been restricting constitutional rights over whether or not something looks scary. Honestly, for the pincer he was in, that limp-wristed...

It's perfectly legal for them to run studies, what they can't do is lobby for said studies, nor openly admit (as they have before) that they've already decided guns are bad and are deliberately designing their studies to produce a pre-conceived conclusion. They refused to do so for a few...

I've had it explained to me that the only reason Chicago has any crime at all is because the surrounding areas have guns and criminals can go buy them there, otherwise the gun restrictions would work just fine. Maine has lower crime rates because it's next to Canada and this reduces crime rates...
