U.S. studies have shown that having a gun in the house increases the risk that someone in the house will be murdered by 41 percent, but boosts the risk for women by 272 percent.

What absolute liberal BS. these figures have been refuted over and over again!

Only the police should have guns. Since America is acting as the World's Police, because no other country has the moral will and courage to do the job, only Americans should have guns.

Works for me.

"The activists noted there were an estimated 650 million guns in circulation around the world -- almost all in the hands of men.."

"We want tough action."

The term "tough" does not conjure up images of blue helmets shouting "Stop! or we'll say 'Stop' again!"

How do they intend to be "tough" with well-armed non-cooperators?

I think their message is for woment to arm themselves. That would be much easier than getting trid of all guns.

At first I thought this was satire.

One thing I'll say for the left: they are relentless.

"Kellerman, a liberal proffesor, who wrote this study now refutes it."

When did he admit he was wrong?? Only after having his nose rubbed in his error many times, I'm sure.

I'll bet that if you could find the cause of death for most of the women murdered all over the world, that it would not be firearms.
