Let's face it, unless you've been living under a rock, you can't help seeing news coverage of all the latest mass shootings. Things like Aurora, Co, the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin and now, the shooting involving NYPD, are prime examples. When these things happen, all the talking heads and liberal media begin asking such hard hitting questions, wondering how it could have happened and how to prevent it. Everybody's got an idea and most involve banning guns altogether. That debate never ends. And as long as there are half assed liberals who want the government to do their thinking for them, then there will always be morons who think that criminals will obey the gun laws.
Let's just take a look at some of the most crime infested cities in the US....they all have gun bans.
Chicago, IL
Baltimore, MD
Camden, NJ
are prime examples of high crime rates and a strict gun ban. There's a correlation but the anti-gun crowd doesn't see it.
Because the near sighted, politically correct news media doesn't point out the facts, and instead glosses over certain details, it tends to result in the anti gun zealots going through life with blinders on. Ask yourself why the majority of gun violence involves black males. Most of the guns obtained by the black males were acquired by them illegally. But you don't hear about that in the news media. It would be racist to do it otherwise.
In fact, when you hear about gun owners and concealed carry permit holders using their firearms in self defense, defense of a third person, or protection of their property, it's usually from some obscure or local source. You don't see CNN or Fox News covering that story. When the average law abiding gun owner does the general public a favor, you certainly don't hear about that in the national news.
There is a website out there called, Guns Save Lives and it does an excellent job of ferreting out and reporting on stories of people who have used their firearms to protect themselves. Paste it to your favorites and read the latest stories. The criminal element needs to be on their toes because the pissed off public refuses to be a victim!
