New Study Proves Microstamping Technology Works

77. Fairly easy to prove.

In Texas, all homicides have to go before a grand jury, even the ones that are obviously valid self-defense. In 2009 there were 52 justified homicides by civilians. That is 52 times that people were genuinely in fear of their lives. For every dead felon there were likely about four that were wounded and survived. Those defenders had to go before a grand jury also. There would likely have been about 200 of them who also used a gun to defend their lives. Out of those about 250 who actually pulled the trigger in self-defense there are certainly some who would be dead if they had not done so.

And there are an unknown number who didn't need to shoot but scared their attacker away simply by showing the gun. My wife would be in that number, but not in 2009. I think her incidents were in 2005. How many of those there are is guesswork, but they certainly exist.

Set against that is exactly one murder conviction for 2009 for a person with a CHL. So CHLers are saving more innocents than are being killed.

Based on the evidence presented the microstamping will be an expensive boondogle that will accomplish nothing except make guns more expensive.

I also oppose registration as I don't trust anti-gunners. Twice registration lists have been turned into confiscation lists.

You have judged Zimmerman as guilty before the trial has even convened. Not very progressive of you. If the jury finds him "Not Guilty" then you will have a fit.
