What about knives? What about all the 3rd world hell holes in which women and children cannot defend themselves from predators, both inside and outside of government. Lieberals always lie.

Most Americans don’t have a problem with guns,
it’s liberals that have a gun problem,
America has a CRIME problem.

I don't answer telephone polls.

If I did answer telephone polls, guns? There was that big hurricane a couple of years ago, and, well....

The United States does not have a "gun problem". It has a free-range crazy people problem, and it has a violent criminal problem.

I do think that if NICS background checks are at record highs, it's wishful thinking to believe that fewer households have guns than did 40 years ago.

When you factor out black on black murders it goes down by almost half.

Wow the article mixes blatant lies, distortions and false correlations to sell the scumbag who wrote its anti-gun point of view. I’m reminded of “Globull warming” Start with the conclusion and pick facts (if any) to fit and add lies and distortions to make your case.

Matthew Speiser: I was out yesterday and spoke with ‘everyone’ - they think you’re a foolish liberal who can’t tell the difference between ideas that are ‘fashion’ and ideas that have substance.

"When you factor out black on black murders it goes down by almost half."

And if you do that the US has a similar homicide rate to Norway. I think it's safe to say that Norwegian-Americans kill each other at about the same rate as Norwegian-Norwegians. (Some states -- states with high ownership of guns, but few blacks, have murder rates about the same as the UK and Germany. Other jurisdictions, like DC, with many blacks but few guns, have sky-high homicide rates.)

The author should tell if he's ever been to Mexico. (If so, did he wear diapers?)

Hmmmm. Scotus rules that the 14th applies to perceived rights but not to actual non-infringible rights? Sounds right. At least if it were to ever come to them making a call on it. But they’d probably turn down any case brought before them unless it will clearly undermine the 2nd.

A lie

Get rid of Gun Free Zones would be a start to protect the unprotected.
