Well, as much as I applaud Mr. Pratt for his (correct) efforts, once again, we fail to recognize that to these assclowns, facts do NOT matter. Only the emotion matters. He could have given her the percent chance for being shot from the cdc stats but she wouldn't care. Around 0.0001% when deleting suicides from the number. 300+ million people, 300(?) million firearms, 12,000 deaths----do the math carol. As far as her fact checking and getting back to Mr. Pratt......not holding his breath I hope.

An armed society is a polite society.

“Facts” don’t matter to the Liberals and the liberal media when they go against their goal of gun restrictions.

The American people are fed up. At some point, the MSM will figure that out.

Oh Chit! Them damn facts again.
But Wait.
We will just ignore the facts and use the Statistics.

There in three short sentences is the mass media response to Erich Pratt, John Lott and anyone or any study that disagrees with Democrats.

Relatives, part of the Chicago lib machine, just visited. They observed that people don’t lock cars and homes up as an automatic habit. It’s because everyone knows how many firearms are present to respond to lawbreakers. Makes for a peaceful culture.

Rktman, Thanks for posting this.

Once again for the liberal who is reading this thread with dismay; ‘gun control’ is about (total) control and not about safety or anything else to do with guns.

The goal of total control cannot be reached with an armed populace.

Any person who votes dem for a social reason is voting for slavery. Sounds harsh and over the top but it is literally true.

Everyone must have seen by now the list of dictators whose initial actions ‘for safety’ registered and then collected all the firearms from the nation they were about to subjugate. Mass murder followed in short order.

People who survived the Holocaust speak out on this. People who survived any of many communist regimes speak out on this.

Anyone who votes dem thinking that the only the other ‘bad’ guys gun will be taken but not theirs is worse than a fool, they are a useful idiot and will likely be killed first.

The oppressing party cannot have the people who helped and aided them in their takeover around because betrayed people have explosive anger. Has any one heard of ‘Woman scorned’?

If you are a dem go immediately to a mirror and slap yourself hard on both sides of your face. WAKEUP. You are being lied to and sold down the river.

Go Trump. Maybe not the best possible but the best we have by a million miles.

Liberals are narrow minded and stupid. Stupid! Stooopidd!! They don't research any issues other than the research that supports their already stupid conclusions.

I'm saving a copy of Pratt's interview, but you can bet it'll never make it into any liberal's reading list. It doesn't support their agenda.

The pair ended in disagreement over the facts, as Costello promised to “check his stats” and get back to him.

Yeah, right. Does anyone really expect that to happen?

“Actually, our murder rate is not even in the top 100 of countries around the world. And the top 100 countries, guess what, they have much stricter gun control than we do,” he responded.

LOL - - FACTS THAT MAKE LIBERAL HEADS EXPLODE

Anyone know where I can find these stats and facts to use in the future.

“According to the CDC, in 2013, more than 33,000 people die from firearms”

“the CDC has been barred from doing any research on guns”

Stupid b* contradicts herself in one statement to the next.

Scotland is now requireing a “may issue” license for airguns, because 10 years ago, a drug addict murdered a 2-year-old with one. All of UK has about 1 air-gun fatal accident every three years.

They have about 1 child accidentally drown in a 5 gallon bucket every year.

Airguns will be sold over the counter in England, with no border controls in between.

Facts do not matter to the disarmists. They collected 12,000 of those airguns, worth about a million dollars. They will destroy them all, as a sacrifice to the gods of political correctness, I guess.

As Pratt says, there’s really not a lot of murder in the U.S. Considering.
