The pretty red thing is the EN500. The ugly old fat thing is the author!

I hope 2010 brings changes for all of our country and the world, making it a safer, better place, where we can all live with Freedom and Care.

Here is interesting data on how we can do that! EVERYONE that legally can, buy a gun and get properly trained in its safe use! Contrary to the sNEWS Media, the real facts on firearms, from such Official recording agencies of the Federal Government as: (ones you can search yourself, instead of believing a talking head!) The Centers for Disease Control, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, the Federal Burea of Investigation's Annual Crime Report (the media likes to use the "crimes involving guns" part that INCLUDES when only the police involved had a gun! We use the one two paragraphs later that tells of 2.5-2.8 TIMES as many uses of a firearms to STOP or prevent a crime, 90% of the time without the weapon being discharged! And these are only the "reported" ones! Plus, those are "official" figures for which they have "official" reports. Law Enforcement and others agree that the number is probably closer to 60 TIMES as much! Seen either of those referred to on the TV lately?), and The Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, Northwestern University School of Law. Really "iffy" sources, huh?

 

My Mods: (check on them often, as I keep adding improvements or additions to each as I come up with them, or get suggestions from other riders who have done them! (NOT to mention repairing torn up words my pell specker missed!))
