What's your justification in claiming that license holders are rare and then claiming that every person who commits a crime with a gun is a license holder?

He might have had a CCW permit, but I'll bet no one checks and it will never be included in the unbelievably low percentage you guys keep quoting. Sadly, there are plenty of these guys around. You probably know some of them, but I won't expect any admissions of that from you.<br /><br />http://mikeb302000.blogspot.com/2012/02/austin-texas-homeowner-exercising-his.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-58085251238882941862012-02-04T20:43:21.769+01:002012-02-04T20:43:21.769+01:00What--you didn't see his incoherent speech at ...What--you didn't see his incoherent speech at a Brady Bunch dinner?

It's interesting to see that the arguments in Columbia are the same as we have here, but my comment came directly from what was reported. Only those who are favored by the government will be allowed to carry in public, and the point about registration remains.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-42871983449398311852012-02-03T18:11:10.065+01:002012-02-03T18:11:10.065+01:00Bullshit?

How about recently in <a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/battle-over-chinese-made-rifle-pits-gun-enthusiasts-against-rcmp/article1845189/" rel="nofollow">Canada</a> and the gun confiscation in Australia in 1996 of more than 631,000 firearms, and again in 2002 where over 18,000 pistols were confiscated? According to the British Journal of Criminology there was no detectable effect (on crime) of the confiscations except on suicide. What they found with suicide is that suicide by firearm went down while suicide by hanging went up.<br /><br />At least the then Prime Minister John Howard wasn't into any backdoor under the radar gun control when he said <i>"we will find any means we can to further restrict them because I hate guns"</i>.

That sounds like California. As was pointed out, criminals will not be affected.<br /><br />There's another point to note. We've told you this before, but now we see another jurisdiction doing exactly what we predicted. Registration of legal firearms is the precursor to taking them away, either by a ban or by outright confiscation.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
