The point is that banning AR-15s and similar weapons in no way puts the law abiding citizen at risk.

Of the stats USMC quotes on criminals, how many of the shootings were carried out with an AR-15?

LoL Buck O you slay me! You claim my statement about the current violent crime rate in Chicago today being nearly half what it was in the 1990s can easily be proven wrong and then provide a link where the first paragraph explicitly states that the rate in 1992 was homicides!

Actually the gun crime rate in Chicago is nearly half of what it was in the early 90s.

Yes it was supposed to use.

So should these young women be able to you chemical weapons like sarin gas?

Sociologists overwhelmingly conclude that the biggest factor in dropping violent crime rates is the greying of the Baby Boom generation, just as the rates rose in the 60s forward when that group was entering young adulthood.

Resist the presence of a gun in the home does not make women safer. According to the FBI the presence of a gun in the home in fact makes it 3 times more likely that a woman will be the victim of gun violence.

As usual gun rights supporters argue that more guns are the solution by evoking the scary stranger. In fact between as many as 90% of rapes on campuses are committed by someone the victim knows. In fact the idea of flooding campuses full of young people whose brains have yet to fully develop in terms of impulse control, add a liberal dose of alcohol, and you will in fact create a much more dangerous environment.

As can be expected, TH leaves out the very important fact that this law only applies to weapons and ammo purchased after Feb 1, 2013. Still, even a supporter of gun control like myself sees this as an outrageous move that threatens both property and gun rights.

LoL...DSMike, you're kidding right? Hardly a day goes by without a column or commentary on race, which invariably focus on black pathology except when talking about a handful of black conservatives. Not to mention the pretty much daily photo on the main page of either Sharpton, Walters, or some welfare queen.
