Media Silence Is Deafening About Important Gun News

"Murder and violent crime rates were supposed to soar after the Supreme Court struck down gun control laws in Chicago and Washington, D.C.

"Politicians predicted disaster. "More handguns in the District of Columbia will only lead to more handgun violence," Washington’s Mayor Adrian Fenty warned the day the court made its decision.

"Chicago’s Mayor Daley predicted that we would "go back to the Old West, you have a gun and I have a gun and we'll settle it in the streets..."

"But Armageddon never happened. Newly released data for Chicago shows that, as in Washington, murder and gun crime rates didn't rise after the bans were eliminated -- they plummeted. They have fallen much more than the national crime rate..."

And TX was going to be back to the days of the OK Corral and FL was going to be the Gun Shine state

Again
EVERY prediction made by the gun-o-phobes over the last 20 years has been wrong

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Time after time it is shown that

1. Gun control does not work

2. Citizens with firearms does not increase gun crime.

Lies, the drop in gun crime is obviously because of some teaparty/republican/koch bros/bush/ron paul/any non-liberal party conspiracy to manipulate police reports of gun crime.

This (like all statistics) IS part of the problem.
Ask cops how often the higher-ups "adjust" those reports the feds get their numbers from.....

So, the automated incident-based reporting is falsified? How so?
