It's more than mildly humorous that the study he linked started with:

Robbery is an intrinsically violent crime....

Another liberal misconception shredded by its encounter with reality.

That many liberals are gunowners shreds this moronic encounter with reality.

This. Liberal feminist with an arsenal. I'm from Maine it's how we roll..seriously. Generalizations suck.

"Most of the gun violence in this city is kids with guns shooting at other kids with guns. "


And your gun ban did so much good so I guess this gun hating is just crap.

Yes, it is amazing. the same worthless scum that run the pot and coke up from Texas bring in cheap guns they buy on the way and sell right along with the drugs. Every time they bust a drug shipment they always find a bunch of guns too.

Now the question is why are there gun dealers selling trunk loads of guns to the same people every few days and getting away with it?

Left wing myth that defies reason.
DC used that excuse so does Chicago.
So why don't the places the guns come from have as high a crime rate?
Is it some vile right wing conspiracy against progressive cities?
Or is it because only the bad guys have guns?
Or maybe the law there thinks like you and if you aren't bleeding it isn't self defense.

Based on the rate of executions in Texas they do. They just spread it out more. So maybe you should stop the bullshit. Texas is exceptionally well armed and has a busy death chamber so guns do not work as deterrent. That is simple fact.

That's why the 'States has much lower statistics for murder and violent crime than any western country with gun control.

It has been shown that the ccw laws in chicago had no influence on the lower murder rate.
No proof has been offered that liberals think ccw increases violence.

Great pickup. Great.

Maybe one day the two of you will understand the idea that climate and weather are not the same thing.

If you're actually interested, climate change is the cause of this exceptionally bad winter. The arctic cyclone destabilized and pushed polar air masses into the central US over and over again. Alaska and Europe actually had very mild winters in comparison. It may turn out that overall this was the warmest winter in the northern hemisphere ever.

So if it was the warmest winter ever (snicker) wouldn't that mean gun violence increased?

Yeah. It might. Except it wasn't.

From NOAA (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/2014/02/)

Northern Hemisphere, land: 53rth warmest winter, ever.

Damn those inconvenient facts.

quote:

The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for the December–February period was 0.57°C (1.03°F) above the 20th century average of 12.1°C (53.8°F), making it the eighth warmest such period on record.

quote:

The Northern Hemisphere had its eighth warmest winter

quote:

Besides, let me get this straight. You're arguing that the cold weather is responsible for our levels of gun violence. So if it was the warmest winter ever (snicker) wouldn't that mean gun violence increased?

Except of course, it didn't.

Yeah, the northern hemisphere covers a great deal of country. (snicker)

See the thing about great numbers being added together is it obfuscates everything. (snicker)

Innumerates are unaware. (snicker)

In Minnesota for example, it was our 5th coldest winter on record. (snicker)

And we have some cold winters here. (snicker)

I wasn't gonna go outside to shoot anybody, they would have had to come in the house. (snicker)

I am sure the chicagoans felt about the same with that fuckin hawk breathin down their neck. (snicker)
