People respect gun laws, like they respect laws that say

What slows down murder rate is more gun ownership. It seems
a paradox. There was a fellow who studied that. "Klek" was
his name. Kleck? Gary, was it? My memory is failing.

We've noticed. *~

As far as guns bringing down the murder rate, I don't think it's as
simple as that. *There was one murder in my hometown (population
around 9,000) in something like the past forty years. *The woman was
shot by, of course, her husband. *I now live one town over and I can
honestly say I don't know who the closest person that owns a gun is.
I wouldn't be surprised if it were ten blocks away, and I wouldn't be
surprised if it were next door. *It's not an issue and not a concern.
I'm far more concerned about someone being killed with a bottle and a
car than a gun. *YMMV.

THE ENTIRE PREMISE IS ABSURD, YOU CANNOT CONTROL KILLING WITH A DEATH
MACHINE., ALL YOU DO IS BECOME A PROVEYOR OF DEATH YOURSELF.
PERHAPS GUNS CAN DETER CRIME AND SUCH ABUSES BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE IN
THE RIGHT HANDS, THEREFOR THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS IS LAWFUL AND
SUPPORTED BY THE INNOCENT MASSES...OTHER WISE IT IS JUST A PRESCIPTION
FOR DEATH.
I KNOW IT SOUNDS DEEP, BUT THE BEST POLITICIAN THE SCHOOL OF NO
MURDERS HAS IS NOT OF THE FLESH.
WHY PREPARE TO KILL, IF YOU ARE AGAINST DEATH BY ANY MEANS? IT IS
BOUND TO FAIL ITS OWN GUARANTEE.

PEOPLE MUST APPLY A BETTER SOLUTION THAN WEAPONS EVOLUTION AND
POSSESSION.

THE GUN LOBBY MUST LOSE OR THEY TO WILL BE BOUND TO DEATH., NOT LIFE,
LOVE AND TRUTH.
ANYONE WHO ARGUES DIFFERENT JUST WANTS TO PACK HEAT IN FEAR OF THE
UNKOWN WHAT IFs.
SO LICENSES WILL CONTINUE TO BE ISSUED.
SADLY, Disenfranchised elements will seek out their own protection.
WHERE HONOR PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE, FAITH IS A LUXURY THE POOR CAN
AFFORD.
