Excellent! Stats on gun violence

[stanc]

Kswhitetails, I will let you in on a little secret, I like Stan and most of the grumpy, snarky people who are on this forum. I have never learned anything in an echo chamber.What have we learned from all this:

Gun rights are not connected to the militia.

John Lott's stats are not reliable.

The un-organized militia was suppose to be a balance against a federal standing army, "controlled by the states" not the feds and is the unconscious uncle on life
support that was replaced with the national guard funded and controlled by the federal government, defeating the point of the militia in the first place.

Unalienable rights do not exist if there are restrictions on them, " since there are restrictions on them" they must not really exist.

Emotion guides our interpretation of our laws instead of statistics and facts, which is exploited by those in power who need to be re-elected. A population hyped up by a corrupt media that wants action to stop mass shootings, while ignoring more real threats and concerns that have no political gain to exploit.

We have also learned that the militia is not now, and never has been, "the whole people".
