Is it better that murder victims should have been hacked to death with machetes, rather than being shot? Or garroted with knotted ropes? Or bludgeoned with lead pipes in the drawing room by Colorel Mustard?<br /><br />Secondly, if you look at murder rates by race, the white murder rate in the US is not very different from that of other developed nations. The murder rates in the whitest states in the US - Iowa, Wyoming, Vermont, etc., are as low as, or lower than, western European nations.<br /><br />What is truly remarkable is how low the murder rate in the US is, given the staggering number of guns in circulation.<br /><br />Crime rates have virtually nothing to do with the quantity of guns. They have everything to do with the quality of people.Mr. Anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-18581165595067807942013-02-21T20:36:36.382-08:002013-02-21T20:36:36.382-08:00"It can't all be because of the coloreds&..."It can't all be because of the coloreds".<br /><br />Uh, actually, yes it can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-75468337636917100122013-02-21T16:00:38.869-08:002013-02-21T16:00:38.869-08:00staggering difference in gun-related deaths
Accid...<i>staggering difference in gun-related deaths</i><br /><br />Accidental deaths from guns are quite low--a few hundred a year in a nation of over 300M.<br /><br />The US is somewhat more violent than other nations, and it's not because of guns. The US murder rate for hands and fists is higher than other nations, too.<br /><br />But about half the murders in the US are committed by blacks. The white murder rate includes Hispanics, and they're a pretty violent lot, too. <br /><br />The US murder rate is about 5/100K. Divide that by two and you're down to about 2.5/100K. France is around 1/100K, UK at around 1.2/100K. So it's not really a huge difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-4538815064902215952013-02-21T15:04:33.401-08:002013-02-21T15:04:33.401-08:00In California CCW permits are typically issued by ...<i>In California CCW permits are typically issued by the county sheriff, but they can be approved by a city police chief.

When I was stationed in NYC in the late '70s, I couldn't help but notice all the expensive sports cars around Manhattan with Vermont plates. After the service I went to college on the Plains, and made many transfers at Chicago on breaks. And yes, all the expensive sports cars in or near the Loop had Iowa plates! I just knew that if I went to SF or LA, the same models would sport Colorado tabs.<br /><br />CCW permits are trickier, though. E.g., in New York an upstate county's easy-to-get permit is (or was) valid throughout the state-- except in the City, where you needed it the most.<br /><br />By the way, "county sheriff" is redundant.

It can't all be because of the coloreds.</i><br /><br />1. Why the statistically deceptive language of "gun violence" and "gun-related deaths" from gun-grabbers? Why is "gun violence" any worse than violence in general? Why is a "gun-related death" any worse than another kind of death?<br /><br />2. I thought libs were into personal choice, including suicide; why do they use suicide by gun to pursue their gun-grabbing agenda? Isn't it breathtakingly dishonest to use the "gun-related deaths" of gun suicides as statistics in this debate? This is why I don't like language like "gun-related deaths." Also, I prefer that suicides do it with their guns, in their own homes, to having them find the nearest tall building and endanger people on the sidewalk below.<br /><br />3. Do you know how white American rates of violence stack up against white western European rates of violence? As far as I can tell, they're pretty close, even for countries with strict gun control like England. Obviously, the implement of choice will be different in such countries, which is why I think "gun crime" and "gun deaths" is such a dishonest way to frame the issue. <br /><br />I think it largely <i>is</i> because of the coloreds.

But it's still revealing that the guns they're officially going after are semi-auto rifles, the type almost never used in crimes, while they say little about handguns. It's not hard to see the reason: the former are the guns of rural, traditional whites, while the latter are preferred by criminals and urbanites wishing quietly to defend themselves from the dangers their policies have brought to their neighborhoods.<br /><br />It doesn't seem to me it was always this way. In the 80s and 90s, I remember lots of talk about evil handguns. Remember the gun buy-back and trade-in programs? That was all about handguns. TV sitcoms did Very Special Episodes about kids sneaking handguns into schools. When people ranted about kids killing themselves playing with their dads' guns, those were handguns (a kid couldn't accidentally shoot himself with a long gun, after all).<br /><br />Seems like it took a while for people to realize that railing against handguns might look a teensy bit racist, so it's safer to complain about Uncle Jed's duck guns instead, and then deal with handguns in the fine print.Cail Corishevhttp://cailcorishev.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-59282646167763120752013-02-20T21:00:06.161-08:002013-02-20T21:00:06.161-08:00"Svigor said...

They haven't even talked about grabbing handguns."<br /><br />Yes they have. That is very much their intent. Feinstein's bill does not specifically exempt semi-automatic handguns. And the most common kinds of such handguns accept, as standard issue, magazines with more than 10 rounds. Actually, just about any pistol can accept an extended magazine, so even 6+1 and 7+1 pocket pistols might qualify. Under the loathsome and unconstitutional law proposed by that loathsome Senator, common garden-variety pistols could be reclassed as "assault weapons" by bureaucratic rule-making, and hence require registration. You would have to be fingerprinted, have your name put down on some kind of federal official suspects list, and receive permission from the local sherrif of police chief to even have one - not to carry one concealed, mind you - but just to own one. And, of course, with registration in hand, confiscation would follow, the next time the wheel turns and the ratchet clicks.<br /><br />Make no mistake - the aim of current gun control measures is to completely disarm us.Mr. Anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-21703090979310749862013-02-20T17:29:58.067-08:002013-02-20T17:29:58.067-08:00"O/T but Londoners aren't allowed to pack..."O/T but Londoners aren't allowed to pack heat.

The closest firing range to me was in Burbank, right across from the Cosco and not too far from the TV studios. It was very common to see guys with Pink Pistols t-shirts in West Hollywood while grocery shopping. There are also lots of gun stores and very nice outdoor tactical firing ranges in Southern California. There seems to be a disconnect between a widespread, if subtle, appreciation for firearms and the anti-gun legislation pushed by state representatives (the seven round magazine limit was a real drag).Marc Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15526121114466617234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-6805435044036261042013-02-20T10:15:42.706-08:002013-02-20T10:15:42.706-08:00The gun grabbers always go for semi-automatic rifl...The gun grabbers always go for semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines first. I.e., the most powerful guns readily available. These weapons are overwhelmingly the domain of white, rural, law-abiding Americans. They are used in fewer murders each year than knives. All murders using rifles of any kind only total up to some 600-odd deaths a year (IIRC).<br /><br />Meanwhile, the overwhelming bulk of the murders are committed by black, urban criminals, using handguns. But the gun-grabbers use these crimes (folded into the over all "gun crime" stats, of course, not broken out) to go after semi-auto rifles. They haven't even talked about grabbing handguns.<br /><br />I think that's because handguns are the weapon of choice for law-abiding urban dwellers. They go after semi-auto rifles because they don't need them, and because white, rural, law-abiding Americans love them and own lots of them. Banning or restricting them will have no effect at all on the skinnies bumping one another off left and right in America's cities. But it will piss off red-staters, and seriously curtail their firepower, something urban blue-staters find disconcerting and menacing.<br /><br /><i>Guns for me but not for thee is perfectly consistent with the idea of liberalism/leftism as merely a new aristocracy. Only suckers believed that it was anything else than a scam, leftism that is, and restricting arms to only aristocrats (however that is defined) is pretty much feudalism 101.</i><br /><br />I suppose it was time for Whiskey and me to agree again.<br /><br />On the other hand, Jews are pretty open about the fact that they're about as monolithic as humans get in their support for gun control. There were a couple of articles recently in the Jewish press about it (the funny part for me was the comments, where "conservative" Jews gave their tribe a pass on its gun-grabbing agenda). Not that it's hard to notice the names attached to the bills in Congress at the moment. Lautenberg and Feinstein ain't exactly old Viking surnames.<br /><br />****<br /><br />I think the creepiest thing in all of this is how the feds are buying up all the ammo. They take our tax dollars and use them to buy up all the ammo. Seems like the sort of thing Lenin would have cooked up.
