BREITBART ^ | December 16, 2012 | MARY CHASTAIN

Gun control advocates just need to look at Virginia. Between 2006-2011 gun sales went up by 73% and at the same time gun-related violent crimes fell 24%. Virginia Commonwealth University professor Thomas R. Baker, who specializes in research methods and criminology, said this proves that more guns do not in fact cause more violence...

Not to worry about gun control. Some other tragedy or catastrophe will grab the headlines and the gun grabbers will be put on to the back burner once again.

Unfortunately, this is a tragedy and it put the ‘fiscal cliff’ on to the back burner but it will soon be back as the number one story and displace the gun grabbers.

Gun control arguments are more about emotional appeals than facts or statistics.

They’re too busy screaming that the NRA and 2nd Amendment supporters have blood on their hands to actually be bothered to check data.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

Those are facts...the Left is running on emotion with this. The horror of it triggers people to emote rather than think, and that is why the vultures are trying so hard to nationalize an isolated criminal act. If I were a political cartoonist, I would portray the leading Democrats and media figures on this as vultures with bloodstained beaks, sitting on the roof of that school. They are feasting on those children. I made the mistake of watching one of the talking head shows on Fox, and this sick blonde leftist broad (she was in the lower left corner of the display) was positively leering—you could see it was taking everything she had not to smile with glee. God, how I loathe them.

"the Left is running on emotion with this."

The left is all about emotional thinking and needs to be disarmed because they are incapable of rational thinking and are too dangerous to be armed.
