Reply #176: I couldn't support Democratic Pary-inspired apartheid laws, and I can't now...

The font for most gun-control legislation is Jim Crow. SEE:

Search locally for the Heller brief, submitted to the SCOTUS, and you will see with great clarity the "truth" of gun-control legislation.

It is not enough to say "How many times have both groups acknowledge that a particular gun or violence study is unbiased?" This unacceptable attitude toward intellectual inquiry is what breeds, IMO, a disdain for academic studies and sound research. ANY study with regards gun policy must stand peer-review. If it can't, then it must be cast aside. You may wish to reference the Center for Disease Control's Executive Summary of "gun interventionist" policies and laws, wherein they conclude that none of the policies and laws it studied could be shown to affect the outcomes of the policy-makers.

"It comes down to pick your party. Are you with the Democratic party on this, or are you with the Republican party on this?"
This rather reactionary statement is really a last-refuge for the gun-control side of this debate, but, a predictable refuge.
