Facts are the life blood of the debate about gun rights and gun control. In online sparring at several sites, I found myself presented by a lot of interesting information about guns. What was uniform was the conviction that guns as forms of protection are important and that (mostly) no forms of regulation have ever had any effects on gun violence. Most importantly (RP and others), gun violence primarily targets young black men.
While these individuals are convinced, the NRA is not, nor our different Congressional representatives who are blocking, and have blocked in 1996, appropriations to the CDC to study gun violence. Pehaps some of my erstwhile online sparring partners will ask Jack Kingston of Georgia, among others, to stop and allow the research to be done.
As is a familiar refrain, Kingston justifies himself by claiming that this is research for the sake of gun confiscation. Everything is about confiscation.
