GO BACK TO MY THREAD. LOOK WHO DID... HE REFUSED to make a poll. He seems to think that DU would back his statement. I said no they would not. GO back and read it..would you like me to link it for you?

Edit to include the statement: (Reply #33)

"The latest gun stats in our country show that there has been a very large increase in the purchase of firearms during the Obama presidency and that during that same period of time violent crime has gone down. So according to those stats more guns mean less violent crime. "
