Show me some statistics that prove that CCW holders commit gun crimes.

it's less than 1/100 of 1%. I'd post exact numbers but you've proven

that's a rather pathetic attempt to change the subjec

Yes..it is a rather pathetic attempt you tried.

* Guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding
citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as
2.5 million times every year-or about 6,850 times a day.1 This means
that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to
protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives

* Concealed carry laws have reduced murder and crime rates in the
states that have enacted them. According to a comprehensive study
which reviewed crime statistics in every county in the United States
from 1977 to 1992, states which passed concealed carry laws reduced
their rate of murder by 8.5%, rape by 5%, aggravated assault by 7% and
robbery by 3%.4

* More guns, less crime. In the decade of the 1990s, the number of
guns in this country increased by roughly 40 million-even while the
murder rate decreased by almost 40% percent.7 Accidental gun deaths in
the home decreased by almost 40 percent as well.

* CDC admits there is no evidence that gun control reduces crime. The
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has long been criticized for
propagating questionable studies which gun control organizations have
used in defense of their cause. But after analyzing 51 studies in
2003, the CDC concluded that the "evidence was insufficient to
determine the effectiveness of any of these [firearms] laws."9

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul,
Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the
Presidential election:
a.. Number of States won by: Democrats:19 Republicans: 29
b.. Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans:
2,427,000
c.. Population of counties won by: Democrats:127 million
Republicans: 143 million
d.. Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats:
13.2 Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory
Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of
the country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens
living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of
government welfare..."



"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
