I'm not going to quote from this article because I don't want to make anyone ill.

However, I will tell you that one of the author's sources is Mother Jones. I'm not joking.

I’ll wait for John Lott to come out with his response to this article before I believe any of it.

[Mr. K]

instead of making it illegal to own a gun, why don’t we make it illegal to kill people!

oh wait...

[EveningStar]

That’s not real, is it?

[Timber Rattler]

So, Mr. Journolist is at it again, eh?

[stevio]

Oh yes it is.

[Vanders9]

The fact that we find it hard to tell whether it is real or not is a very sad commentary on the status of the nation.

[SeminoleCounty]

Of course, liberals have no explanation why mass murders with guns happen in Gun Control countries in Europe. Or, no explanation why in Gun Control Mexico they have the highest murder rate in the world.

[bravo whiskey]

convienent they don’t count terrorist attacks like beslan. wsashingtonPOS.

CNN’s Piers Morgan Calls for Immediate Handgun Ban as Gun Control Shills Seek to Exploit Mass Shooting Tradegy White House spokesman Jay Carney’s right – today’s not the day to debate gun control. YESTERDAY was the day to debate it. Don’t just mourn these poor dead children America – get angry and do something to stop these senseless shootings happening. Last 2yrs: movie theatres, shopping malls, temples, a congresswoman, now an elementary school – when will America deal with its gun madness? Piers Morgan ‏@piersmorgan - Another day, another horrific shooting – this time at an elementary school in Connecticut. America’s gun culture has to change.

Prissy Matthews was bawling about gun control on MSNBC. Not one word about the murderer.
