Guns equal safety - proven right AGAIN

With the anointing of Barack soon to be official we can expect an onslaught of attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights. While Barack claims he respects our right to own guns and that he will not try and take our guns - I would be very leery. To date, everything Barack has campaigned on - he has switched his stance.

Even though the US Supreme Court has recently reaffirmed our right to bear arms, there are 18 states currently trying back door gun-control with legislation (The Ammunition Accountability Act) that will require putting serial numbers on ammunition which will then be tracked in a government data base.

The start of this new attack will begin with what they call the "gun-show loophole". World Net Daily highlights some very interesting facts from a recent study....

Mark Duggan and Randi Hjalmarsson of the University of Maryland and Brian A. Jacob of the University of Michigan teamed up to examine the evidence in a scientific study of the impact of gun shows on murder and suicide and accidental deaths.

They looked at 3,417 gun shows in two very different states – Texas and California – during an 11-year period. And they examined vital statistics data on suicides, homicides and accidental gun deaths in the weeks following them.

"We find a sharp decline in the number of gun homicides in the weeks immediately following a gun show," they concluded. Furthermore, in Texas they found "gun shows reduce the number of gun homicides by 16 in the average year."
