C-Span has been airing a forum hosted by Students for Concealed Carry on Campus called Handguns on College Campuses. The thesis is “More Guns, Less Crime”
I’ve been taking notes from time to time. Here they are in rough.
*Best I could tell, the audience was comprised of about 25 well-pimpled bible thumpers.

John Lott spoke first. [...]

Figleaf at the not always safe for work Real Adult Sex had this to say:
Although it’s been many years since I was a member I grew up in that church. My youngest brother’s ashes are there. The last time I went, last year, my father introduced me around, so proud that I’d come back. [...]

Author’s Note: I’m about to go on a much-needed July 24th holiday (no cheering from the fascist fan club, please). But I didn’t want to disappear without an appropriate parting gift. So here it is. Lass’t ’s schmecken
The Right has a double-barreled shotgun up its ass. In chamber one is anger over out-of-control immigration. Chris [...]

Thanks Scalia. This is what happens when gun nuts are allowed out. The FACT is, this kind of thing happens everyday in America. What does NOT happen everyday is that someone’s life is saved as the result of individual hand gun ownership (Alan Korwin thinks it happens at least 547 times per [...]

As a gesture of thanks to JD Berger for his dedication to the National Conversation and commitment to getting as many guns out there as possible, I have purchased, on behalf OneUtah’s great authors, “Top Spot” on JD Berger’s “The Real Gun Guys.”
For $5 bucks, even if he breaks the agreement (*and keeps my money) [...]

The NRA together with its more gullible members present a propaganda force as effective as any in these times.
One of their favorite canards is the claim that the murder rate in Australia has gone up since a gun buyback program initiated in 1997.
This claim is not only unfounded based upon the only statistics available, but [...]

I say bribe, because Google represents that all paid rankings are disclosed. But what about de-rankings?
OneUtah has been de-ranked by Google.
On April 15, I posted “Guns Advocates Lie While People Die” after I heard Alan Korwin on C-Span claim “hundreds of thousands of lives are saved each year.”
On April 18th, I commented: [...]

As you know, we have been invaded by the paid gun lobby web trolls for calling Alan Korwin on the carpet for repeating AND further embellishing one of the gun lobby’s favorite lies on C-Span.
Most recently, troll Bob S has been challenging my use of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) Kellerman Study which [...]

Via Radar:
According to a senior government official who served with high-level security clearances in five administrations, “There exists a database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived ‘enemies of the state’ [...]

This is just mind boggling. Could it be something in the air at NRA conventions?

Is it possible that the attraction of NRA gatherings, which are attended almost exclusively by white men and always held south of the Mason Dixon line, is that they are really just KKK meetings by [...]

It is well known and, quite frankly, self-evident that one’s vicinity to a gun increases the likely hood that one will be shot.
Fact: In homes with guns, a member of the household is almost three times as likely to be the victim of a homicide compared to gun-free homes.
So. I can’t figure out how [...]

I’ve heard quite a bit lately, “guns don’t kill, people do.”
This is of course just one example of the completely corrupt, pathetic logic used by the pro-killer device crowd.  You know, the ones who spend their days trying to explain why they need to own and carry a pocket-sized murder weapon.
Ok, so lets say people [...]
