The Global War on Guns

i have the impression you both have not read the report.

bm: who used that logic?

raum: he may have strange ideas (I don't have a clue and you can tall me whatever), but the academic world has accepted his analysis concerning this question.

If the UN wants my guns, they can have them. But let them be warned, I WILL defend my 2nd Amendment rights to the death. They can have them after I've expended every round in my possession protecting that right. If you prefer to live in a gunless society, move to the UK or Japan. I much prefer to put my security in my own hands because I know my abilities, I have trained and kept my abilities proficient. I have both an Armed Security license and a Concealed Carry Permit. I go the range at least once a week to keep myself honed.

Yes, I'm a member of the NRA. No, I don't subscribe to every thing they espouse. BUT, I do believe VERY strongly in my RIGHT to keep and bear arms.

that amendment also talks about "a well regulated militia", which individuals hardly are....

two questions-

What makes you believe this guy, other than bias? Do you actually know how to determine statistics? That is what I did for 20 hours yesterday.

AND

What "academic world" has accepted his analysis, that denied John Lott's, who has authored a full set of socio-economics text books? and ranks WORLDWIDE as the 26th most respected economist on the planet from 1969-2000, by publication, and is the 86th most quoted by citation? This is, of course, only according to the Univesite' Libre de Bruxelles.
