Extract:

Inspired by his example, I propose curbing gun violence not by further restricting the availability of guns but by expanding and reorienting it. Men would still be forbidden to walk the streets armed, in accordance with current laws, but women would be required to carry pistols in plain sight whenever they are out and about.

What is happening to America?
Is this person serious??!!!!

I hope to our forefathers this does NOT come true.
what next?

Girls sometimes ask me if I'm carrying my pistol. I always answer... "maybe."

LOL it cites that guns are second in injury related deaths only to car accidents.

We all know women suck at operating cars and other such sources of accidental death.

A train full of women with guns would be just as scary as a parking lot full of women drivers.

I can picture it now:

HB10: "So what's the difference between the trigger and the safety"
HB8: ...........

(HB 8's head blown off)

Those"studies" should be taken with a grain of salt. Suicides are included,gang bangers and criminals are included. Etc,etc,etc. All a part of the liberal media's attempt to brainwash you into their preferred behavior. Crime rates and murders in right to carry states are lower than states with strict gun laws-check out Florida's stats since becoming a "right to carry" state.

There is more than one part of the matrix you need to unplug from.

Not to start a political debate (I think both liberals and conservatives have a whole lot of sh1t wrong), but you just made a huge fallacy there which I can't help but point out.

Permit States tend to be the states with densely populated cities (most notably New York and California). They have higher murder and crime rates because they have the most densely populated cities (Los Angeles, Bay Area, New York City, etc.)....not because of stricter gun policy. You can't really compare crime rates between California and i.e. Iowa and conclude that Iowa has less homicides because its a right to carry state.

I do agree that there is some degree of merit to studies indicating dropping in crime rates after passing right to carry legislation. But like you said, you have to take studies with a grain of salt---especially studies conducted by people lobbying for a certain outcome.

A wise Professor once told me: "Correlation very rarely indicates causation..... especially when the ignorant think otherwise"

Never side with people who spend more effort telling others they're wrong than figuring out whether they themselves have it right or not.

Gun prohibition is a lot like religion, it requires blind faith and it doesn't do s***t!

Most of the murders in this country are drugwar related anyway. Decriminalize drugs and the market bottoms out.
