All available evidence is that when guns are hard to get, the criminals don't use them.




Of course, they run to Amazon and buy a foam bat to beat their victims to death. Evidence by whom and where?

That may be the dumbest post of the year!!

>> Except there is no proof that is true.

There is tons.

Look at the so called "motor voter" law. No rational person would support a law that encourages the most politically ignorant voters to show up at the polls. Obviously, the result of that law is a less democratic outcome, where the votes of those who bother to educate themselves are watered down by the votes of those who known nothing but someone's name.

Look at Obama's "evolving" over the course of seven days on his deeply held views about gay marriage. Designed wholly to secure the gay vote. Which it did, of course. No other reason for it.

Look at idiotic programs like providing "broadband" to the poor -- a senseless move anyway you look at it. Total waste of taxpayer dollars with no redeeming value, whatsoever.

And the big one, Obamacare -- Putting 20 million people on the public dole. They're not getting better health care, mind you. But they are getting it paid for by others. Obamacare has not materially improved health care for a significant number of persons. Yet, it has created millions of new dependents for the Democrat party.

Yes, there is plenty of proof. The biggest problem is it would take a week to list it.

That's why in Chicago, where gun control is fierce, the bad guys now all use knives to push the murder rate up to new record levels :)
