Michael Bloomberg, Gun Control And Fabricated Numbers

No doubt, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg passionately believes in gun control. To his credit, he puts his own money — tens of millions of dollars, and possibly much more — into pushing the issue politically.

But Bloomberg's push hasn't been just political advertising, lobbying and media appearances. He also funds studies that have gone overboard in backing up his anti-gun beliefs.

To put it plainly, they have not only exaggerated their conclusions but have fabricated numbers. And these incorrect numbers have then been used to push for more regulations.

Gotta love John Lott. No doubt he's a brainiac but he fails to realize that the only people falsifying numbers are those that support the Bill of Rights. Just ask nannie bloomers. He and mom's lookin' for a little "action" will set you straight. :>}

Just the catch-all term, "Gun Violence" is bogus -- especially when it includes police shootings and legitimate self defense "violence".

Not all "Gun Violence" is bad!!!

As folks say here in Texas, Some folks just need shootin'."
