I wouldn't expect you to understand, since you have a closed mind. However, Dr. Gary Kleck, a professor at the Florida State University School of Law, has the data. Here's the website for the information, should you care to open your mind a little. guncite.com Dr. Kleck has nothing to do with the NRA and is not a gun user himself. He simply has an open mind.

Here is another article unrelated to the NRA. newsmax.com

If you want to have an intelligent discussion with me, please refrain from insulting remarks unless you can be really creative. This doesn't cut it. <<<<Not Really Americans>>>>

The NRA was started by some officers of the Union Army after the Civil War who were appalled at the lack of marksmanship of their troops. It remains the home of the most diverse group of grass roots Americans and we don't take kindly to such insinuations.

TP (suitable initials)

I have read two of your posts. The way you choose to interpret the Constitution and insult those who disagree with you indicates it is you who maybe should leave the shores of the USA and see if you like living without the protections afforded to all by our Constitution.

I am a Patron member of the NRA and it is my belief that they care more for this Country than you and your kind. Why? Because the NRA is not some big scary Washington lobby. The NRA is 4.3 million of your fellow Americans that feel the need to band together in order to protect one of our basic freedoms, to teach gun safety to everyone from kids, to law enforcement officers, to promote gun competitions and many other activities. Have you ever thought that at gun competitions there are no drugs, no booze, no screwing around? You want to talk about wholesome competitive environment, you have it at a shooting range.

I think you need to think this through some more.
