For example, <br /><br />"Nationwide, gun deaths rose by 12 percent; in Georgia, the increase was 8 percent. "<br /><br />Nationwide accidental deaths dropped 30 percent. Homicides dropped by 6 percent. Suicides rose by 30 percent.<br /><br />Georgia's homicides dropped by 5 percent, though both accidental deaths and suicides rose by 50 percent and 12 percent respectively. Its also surprising that they didn't talk more about Illinois, one of the states that showed an overall decrease. In my opinion, they have made much larger inroads in the area of gun rights than DC. <br /> Not only did the McDonald decision remove the ban on handgun possession in Chicago, but they went from not issuing carry permits at all, to a shall issue carry permit system which is now entering its first year.ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-169824178976412742015-05-27T15:50:00.045+02:002015-05-27T15:50:00.045+02:00MikeB: "if guns were removed..."
If you...MikeB: "if guns were removed..."<br /><br />If you cared about that question, you'd have to look at a stat other than "gun deaths".TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667036856347626234noreply@blogger.com
