Gun Myths

Greetings All,

Some goof near my home started shooting people at a near by church. So I thought I'll post some info on gun control.

had to quit watching the first one when I saw "Rosie the Hut"

Rosie and others still believe in these myths.

You can show these people facts, but they will not believe them. I am guessing they think the facts are suspect.

Los Angeles example:
US Citizen: I'm a good citizen so I don't carry a gun on the street.

Gang member: BAM! I don't need a CCW.

The person committing the armed robbery most likely doesn't care about carrying a license to use the gun on the street.

The gun control people may state that is the reason gun should be controlled.

It's not the gun. It's the person.

Not to minimize the seriousness of this thread and I'm all for legal carry and the right to bear arms.
But I think Chris Rock has the answer... (caution language) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdJGcrUk2eE&feature=related
