" However, the National Research Council decided even more thorough research on the topic is needed."

"Policy questions related to gun ownership and proposals for gun control touch on some of the most contentious issues in American politics...

Only from the unconstitutional viewpoint.

The stench from this Orwellian gibberish is overwhelming.

Global warming, disarming the citizenry, UN mandates, one world government, etc. etc..

Will someone, anyone, take the garbage out?

I agree. nobody "needs" them

To which I say...

It is a Bill of Rights, not a Bill of Needs.

However, the National Research Council decided even more thorough research on the topic is needed.

Now here's the "news" in this little item.

"Researchers" call for more (drum roll....)RESEARCH!

The only real surprise is that they didn't characterize the situation as a "crisis".

Our deck is private except up and back. No houses behind us just a creek and a dairy farm. Seriously often the airliners illuminate the back yrad as the lower their gear with landing lights on.

The panel was established during the Clinton administration and all but one of its members were known to favor gun control...

...and no doubt still do!

If there were any possibility of finding a link, they would have found it and trumpeted it from the highest rooftops!

The fact they gave a "neutral" report speaks volumes that actual conclusions are anything but "neutral". A "neutral" report no doubt stems from their anti-gun attitude. An honest conclusion would undoubtedly support a strongly pro-gun outcome.

We mustn't think for a moment this Clinton appointed panel issued an honest report on this subject and came to a genuinely "neutral" conclusion. All they are doing is murking up the issue and trying their best not to do their own side any damage.

They'll just keep asking different questions until they get an answer they want.

LOL I live in a trailer park. If I walked around my yard like that, well me and some Santa Cruz County Sheriffs Deputies would be having a chat right quick. Most of the police in the area are pro-2A, despite the towns lib reputation. I think that's pretty universal though.

I have to make one with more guns in it. Some of my other guns complain about not getting in the picture.

LOL - I have jealous guns, too. They tell me I don't give them enough target practice! :-)
