So the end result of the NRA's agenda has been what exactly? hack89 Jul 2012 #58
More unstable people armed with guns and fewer things stopping them CreekDog Jul 2012 #72
And yet crime levels are falling permatex Jul 2012 #73
the reasons are many & complex, but usually have to do with community policing & social programs wordpix Jul 2012 #101
Let me rephrase my statement. permatex Jul 2012 #105
And this has created more shootings and deaths .... oh wait. hack89 Jul 2012 #74
fearing a gun is rational CreekDog Jul 2012 #75
I don't fear firearms. permatex Jul 2012 #76
snooze CreekDog Jul 2012 #77
Hey, fear them if thats what floats your boat permatex Jul 2012 #79
why do you take offense at the simple word choice about an inanimate object? CreekDog Jul 2012 #80

They willingly pump guns into the economy and don't care who they are arming. xtraxritical Jul 2012 #45

There has been a 50 percent decrease in murder and manslaughter deaths since 1991 hack89 Jul 2012 #62
again, the drop in these crimes has more to do with increased community policing than with more guns wordpix Jul 2012 #102
Never said that more guns were the cause hack89 Jul 2012 #127
I'm not sure the drop in crime relates to violent crimes with deadly weapons wordpix Jul 2012 #130
