Gun Control?
As usual, Washington, D.C., which leads the nation in anti-gun laws, led the nation in murder, with a rate six times higher than the rest of the country. Neighboring Maryland, where gun control advocates have been particularly active recently, once again had the highest robbery rate among the states, but also tied for the unenviable distinction of a€oefirst placea€A in murder among the states. However, despite Marylanda€™s high crime counts, CeaseFire Maryland, the local Brady Campaign affiliate that recently released a paper demanding an a€oeassault weapona€A ban, was unable to point to any crimes in the state involving such a gun.

kookiekrumbles, i cant believe your actually posting this sh*t – the NRA always makes these assertions and they have been discredited time and time again – they never look at causality or correlation, only coincidence. Why does DC have such strict gun laws? because it had a high murder rate – not vice versa
i’m a big supporter of the second ammendment, but that doesn’t mean I drink the NRA’s koolaid – they are a bunch of fanaticts, and any responsible gun owner will admit that
may i kindly suggest that you look into some of the studies that contradict the NRA findings? When looking at statistics, it’s always best to look at non-polemical sources, not interest groups!!!

it’s all good man – just shocked to see the NRA post at the top of mnp – if you want it to be next to the monch video you should edit the timestamp (make sure the box is checked too)
so you pack a laser huh? where can i cop one?!
