Notes

A gun hugger on another thread is attempting to push some skewed statistics denying that there is a correlation between those States with stricter gun laws and the lowest incidence of gun violence. Here are some links showing that gun nuts are wrong, and that Hawaii leads all of the states with the lowest incidence of gun violence: http://angrybearblog.com/2012/12/guns-and-gun-deaths-state-by-state.html http://www.statemaster.com/graph/cri_mur_wit_fir-death-rate-per-100-000 http://healthyliving.msn.com/health-wellness/do-more-gun-laws-mean-fewer-gun-deaths http://www.theatlanticcities.com/neighborhoods/2012/07/geography-gun-violence/2655/ And from a real Democrat: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rep-colleen-hanabusa/hawaii-has-shown-that-gun_b_3998437.html The call for more gun legislation, oversight, responsibility, and accountability is growing with each gun-connected atrocity in this country. The vitriolic NRA apologist crowd, including the few very vocal DU right-winger gun fetishists, are becoming more anxious with each new advance by prominent gun control organizations. The tide is turning, and the American people are beginning to realize that sane gun legislation is not only a good idea, but is much needed. 0. Gun violence by State, redux...

the tide does turn.
