Well, I'm not sure that more guns always equals more crime. In North Dakota, gun ownership is high, gun violence is about zero. So instead of making fun of people who live there as "bitter clingers" and "deplorable", maybe Obama and Hilary should be suggesting that we all treat others the way people in the Dakotas do.

But we can't do that, cuz it doesn't support The Narrative.

Does more gun control reduce crime? The citizens of Chicago will be glad to hear it, if that's the case.

The guns are already out there. If we could get rid of all guns (set the constitution aside), there would be less gun crime. But we can't.

I think his point was that non-LEO good guys with guns stopping violent crime doesn't have enough statistical significance to claim it's a valid strategy to inhibit violent crime.

I also don't understand how under the radical liberal anti-gun Obama freedom for carry has gone up if the call is for stricter gun control and a dismantling of the 2nd amendment.

Are you upside down on both aspects?

But a bad guy with an illegally procured gun, that goes on a rampage, has enough statistical significance to claim it's a valid strategy to inhibit violent crime?

They're both one needle in the same haystack of 333,000,000 needles.

And you can comprehend that "the call for" and "passing laws for" aren't the same thing?
