Are you trying to squeeze water from a rock? Discussions based on politics is not an exchange based on opinion. Or else how do you explain folks who deny a woman her right to choose by claiming that abortion is murder. But then in the case of Sandy Hook murders, they say it is OK!!! They say there is no need to take guns away from these murderers and that we can all buy weapons of mass destruction. Go figure that out.

This skews the entire study. A statistical regression comparing these rankings with strength of gun law found a correlation between weak gun laws and violence levels as measured by the 10-index average. Comparing a state’s relative ranking in strength of gun law (as judged by the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence) to a state’s relative gun violence ranking yielded clear evidence that states with looser gun laws contributed more to the national gun violence epidemic: Sorry, but someone with that name simply cannot be neutral. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ So, with all these gun laws why is Chicago murder capital of the US right now? Is it because 53% of the guns come from other states? Or is it because there is an unending gang war that the politicians do not address? Is it because just blocks from the city center is abject poverty? Or is it because Indana believes in the US Constitution? Do you suppose these scum that constantly shoot people, shoot at people, innocent or gang bangers, are going to comply with any new ban? Will they "turn them in" as Feinstein so callously chants from her ivory tower with 24 hr Federal security? Why do you say it is middlemen who supply people of Chicago with guns? Do you not think people simply drive across the county line and puchase their own guns? Why is there always some ficticious middleman or supplier. The only true supplier of guns illegally that has been proven lately is Eric Holder. Of course he skates because he is part of this "administration."
