Oh.... Um.... Well if gun control can save JUST ONE LIFE.... (Yeah that argument always works!...)

77% of guns used in crimes come from sources no amoun of gun control can prevent. Interesting.

It falls on deaf ears to the anti-gun crowd. It will never matter how much the numbers lean in our direction they are programmed to destroy our 2A rights.

We need to remember that correlation doesn't equal causation.

There are a large number of reasons that violent crime is down across the board. I won't (can't) say concealed carry HASN'T impacted it at all (I do believe that it has impacted overall violence in America in a positive way). But there is more to it than that.

While I agree that Concealed Carry is a good thing, engaging in the usage of hyperbole and overstating certain facts makes us look just as foolish as the anti's. The argument shouldn't be over who can out-stupid the other side... (and yes, I know that being stupid and LOUD is their whole platform). Pro 2nd Amendment has ALL the facts, and without making a special class for "gun violence" Anti's don't even have a violent crime leg to stand on.
