What you mean is we need more armed white citizens. No one wants to put more gun in the hands of people in black neighborhoods or hispanic neighborhoods where the crime rate is ridiculously high. Where they already have lots of guns. Putting more guns in the hands of the "good ones" isn't going to make those neighborhoods better or safer. Those neighborhoods need less guns. This is what those statistics forget to address, the fact that it's not poor people from violent neighborhoods who by in large are good people who they want to give more guns to, so their neighborhoods become safer. What the NRA wants is more white people to arm themselves to protect them against violent minorities from those poor neighborhoods who find themselves, often enough, in the position to break into a home and steal a tv. The law now says you can shoot that poor hispanic kid for trying to take your tv.
Isn't it pretty much the same whether we shoot at foreign nations trying to take American property militarily, or Americans prepare to shoot back at the growing barbarians within the gates? The adjective "poor" seems to mean the barbarians whom America pays $1 trillion dollars in what is now tribute, Welfare.America pays these people who are holding the largest (and even most smaller inner cities) captive and off limits to Americans because of violence. Shall America now expand their aggression while the Law protects every million Tryvon Martins with the shield of poverty? Take the guns away from that half of society which still recognizes marriage and two parent families as the proper building blocks for good citizenship and the whole suburban community is wide open to home invasion.Suburbia will be armed only with 911 and a suburban police force of ten men who did arrive fast enough for the Zimmerman case. And, the Black community is NOT just these criminals who expect poverty to excuse their actions when in reality, poverty is the consequence of Welfare. Ninety percent, 90%, of the murder victims are Black people killed by Black men.Shoukdn't America fix this, not excuse it??? Edited by kofh2u, : No reason given.

We don't want guns because we love guns or want to do harm to anyone or love the idea of a gun-toting nation, we want guns because we know there are evil people in this world and they WILL have guns no matter what you do with ours.
2X What Americans had better recognize is that all their cities are now actually and physically controlled and occupied by the same kind of Barbarians who brought down Rome once the free food and free arena games could no longer be distributed using other people's money. We are still considering the 12/21/12 mayan calendar prophecy as the Fiscal Cliff approaches and the possibility of a terrible economic crunch duplicates this Roman experience. America may well see the Million Man inner City masses explode into the unprepared suburbia which is weakly policed and totally vulnerable to the kinds of riots of the '60's that occurred in the urban areas.

how many ATTEMPTED crimes were prevented by the potential victim's possession of a gun, which was the statistic I brought up earlier from Correia's blog post, whom Dr. A dismissed as a "halfwit" out of his abysmal immoral ignorance.
... half witted... That is a pretty good suggestion.We already know the the police have killed people in self defense. We need to add the citizens to that and get it into the mix of info. Dr A MUST be a little wacky if he doesn't think your point is iumportant to check out.

I guess the only life that you think is precious counts.
?Percy says, ..."self appointed individuals,"... Who are they?I see them as the unappointed progressives, the liberal democratic lobby that lives in the insanity of utopian worlds they think will better serve us in spite of The Facts: The Progressive liberal lobby that directs the power inherent in gathering together the 47% of the country that has its hand out for special unwarranted treatment, gayness, feminism, and unions refuse to focus upon their own Party Base of Welfare recipients who are raising the criminal element that uses illegal guns to kill each other. The people here who will ever admit that Truth relize they can not accept any criticism of anyone one of the seven grouos which together are the Democrats who elect themselves to high office.

Of course, yours only mentions overall murders and overall executions.
Yes that is what the chart says. EXECUTION.... vs murder rate. The supposed death penalty which has hardly resulted in exeecutions since @ only 35 people/year have actually been executed.The word is out. Execution for Murder really means a long 20 year appeal, and probably getting simple jail time as short as seven years, REGARDLESS of whether it is a supposed penalty. As of September 18, 2011 -- 1,267 people have been executed in the U.S. since 1976, when the death penalty was reinstated.

tempochick: If we begin to look at it on a state by state basis, then we see that the states without capital punishment have a lower homicide rate on average. Nonuke:Couldn't this be because high crime rates convince the public to support the death penalty? First, it is foolish to examine whether the State has or has not the death Penalty on the books, because what counts is whether the criminal element KNOWS the will actually be executed. Second, if we look at it State-by-State he is just dead wrong: YEAR 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 Texas 4.4 4.9 5.4 5.6 5.9 5.9 6.2 6.1 6.4 6 6.2 5.9 6.1 6.8 6.8 7.7The number of executions in Texas number is four times as many as Virginia (the state with the second-highest total of executions in the post-Gregg era). Note the murder rate straight down to almost 75% of 1996. YEAR 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996Virginia 3.7 4.7 4.7 4.7 5.3 5.2 6.1 5.2 5.6 5.3 5.1 5.7 5.7 6.2 7.2 7.5 Virginia (the state with the second-highest total of executions in the post-Gregg era).
Note: Rate down more than 200%. YEAR 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996Ohio 4.4 4.2 4.6 4.7 4.5 4.7 5.1 4.5 4.6 4.6 4 3.7 3.5 4 4.7 4.8 Ohio has executed only @ 1.5 persons/year since 1976.

Since the state reinstated the death penalty in 1978, only three people have been executed as of 2009, and all three had waived their appeal rights. Pennsylvania has never executed anyone who has taken full advantage of the appeal process.[1]Note the consistent rate.

I, personally, am against capital punishment, but I do have to agree that these graphs are consistent with a deterrent effect. However, the murders we think most closely correlated with gun ownership rates are those of and by people known to each other, in other words, family, friends, acquaintances and co-workers.
Just not true. The news worthy mass murders like at Sandy get our attention, bu they have been consistent occurences at the same rate in America for a century.They kill very few people, but get enormous headlines. The bulk of murders occur because of Black Market enforcements of the Drug dealers who basically shoot each other, often missing and hitting a bystander. The rest of the majority are just fatherless kids in the hood who get illegal guns and shoot other kids. Violent crime in general is almost non-existent outside of the inner cities or in regard to drug dealers protecting their business, money, inventory, or opposing their take overs. Gun control will do nothing but take away our opportunity to revolt some day.

What I am stating is that the fact that murders are going down could be attributed to far more different things than simply the death penalty.
So? It is clear that punishment serves the interest of correcting behavior in every case where it is so used from our own childhood forward. That other social forces will assist in making crime diminish in general is irrelevent to what the foolish Left liberals are doing is just insanity.

What they want, Nancy already is asking for.
They want to register every gun, and know where and who has it. This will allow confiscation if tyranny becomes both necessary and desirable.Since Sandy Hook and the talk about gun control 1000 new para-military organizations have appeared. These internal "citizen Militias" (i.e.; 2nd amendment right groups), are seen as possible terrorist organizations (chuckle chuckle,... meaning terrorists against the politicians).The Fed is already grouping them as if they are extensions of Timothy Mc Vay who blew up the Fed building years ago. This name calling is their smoke screen used to make such legally founded militias Politically Incorrect.Essentially, they have the ground work for having found these organizations guilty before they actually act in any capacity.

Kids of single mothers raised together in the urban areas and schooled with each other for 12 years in a sub-culture of anarchy and rule by force amongst them end with kids killing people, most themselves.
Very, very few murders occur outside of the inner cities of America where the Welfare Housing of Black people grouo them all together with no male authority except the toughsest kid in the neighborhhod, or, worse, the craziest.

Interestingly, car insurance doesn't make anyone safer.
But Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, (MADD), has reduced auto fatalities from a previous average of 50,000/annually to 25,000/annually, illustrating that the Death Penalty would do like wise for the murder rates.

The logic here is not intuitively obvious. Could you fill in the gaps to make your argument more explicit?
... intuitively...? That has been the basis for people here, intuitively telling us that they know guns are the solutuon to murder. The Logical/Mathematic Facts are that swift, immediate, well advertised and known death sentences to killers stop murders. The Logical/Mathematic Facts are that swift, immediate, well advertised and known prison sentences to drunk drivers stop auto accidents.

kofh: The Logical/Mathematic Facts are that swift, immediate, well advertised and known death sentences to killers stop murders. Nuke:Exactly as I expected from you. Logic full of gaping holes. Thanks for obliging me. Yeah, yeah, yeah,... but you fail to list the holes and refuse to see that murders decline when death sentences are carry out timely and often. And, you protect the children of Single Mothers who are the actual killers who use stolen or blackmarket guns to kill people by no acknowledging that Stats which bear this out.

I note that slowing down and driving carefully would not be a knee jerk response, but is actually the rational thing to do.
Do you realize that hald as many people are killed by autos since Drunk Drivers have een taken off the road, fined, imprisoned, and punished???? Can't you loigically connect the dots and apply this to gun users who kill people?
