(68,095 posts)of the NRA (who orchestrated ALEC's model syg legislation) and the propaganda that you spout here about how safe it is to have more people toting guns, it would be no wonder that many people are swayed in your NRA, and Republican, direction.
And please don't flash your "data" to me. I've seen it before, same charts over and over again, "proving" that gun crime is down due to a direct correlation of "more guns." And when I check those "factual" charts out, well, surprise, surprise, it is another very different story.
What strikes me about this debate the most, however, is the intellectual vacuity of the pro-gun arguments. It seems that there hasn't been any fresh arguments, or data, or charts that the gunners have any more. The NRA strongarmed and/or gave heaps of money to legislators to get your way. But your side keeps going with those same old charts and frankly, I find it boring. It kind of reminds me a those leather faced carnival barkers going around backwater towns out west, where their costumes have worn thin and look kinda greasy and down at the heels.
You guys have an old act. The American people, hopefully, will say "enough." Too bad it will be at the cost of other lives in addition to Travon Martin, or horrendous injuries, as with Gabby Giffords, before your cause is over and done with. Until then, tho, the U.S.A. is a very dangerous place to live.
