gun laws

The man speaks from his ivory tower surrounded by armed guards:

I don’t understand why the police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say we’re going to go on strike, we’re not going to protect you unless you the public, through your legislature do what’s require to keep us safe. -Michael Bloomberg

For a second there I was hoping Bloomberg came to his senses and was going to finish his sentence with “Unless you the public learn how to protect yourselves”.  That would have made more sense…

Thoughts?

The gun store guys discuss gun laws, ordinances, etc.. in different states:

The point they are trying to make is that the laws should be the same for every American, no matter where they live.  I totally agree with that.

Thoughts?  Do you think ownership, purchase, carry, etc… restrictions are for the greater good?

A record-low 26% of Americans favor a legal ban on the possession of handguns in the United States other than by police and other authorized people.

The results are based on Gallup’s annual Crime poll, conducted Oct. 6-9. This year’s poll finds support for a variety of gun-control measures at historical lows, including the ban on handguns, which is Gallup’s longest continuing gun-control trend.

I was excited until I saw the poll was conducted only over a 3 day period, with a random sample of 1005 adults. :/  I took 3 statistics courses in university, but I squeaked by.  I’m pretty sure surveying 1005 people when the total population is 307 Million is an awfully small sample size.

You can check out the rest of the questions, and the results – HERE

Anyone care to weigh in?

In a future version of California, firearm control is taken to a new level by the nanny state government. Although the homeowner owns a gun, he is helpless to protect himself and protect his family from an armed intruder.

California gonna be California.
