Here is a good start: Louisiana has the loosest gun laws in the country and is considered, by stats, to be the most violent state in the nation.
Fact One: the NRA is not honest.
Fact Two: Loose gun laws put more citizens at risk of violent crime.
Every indication over four decades measuring twenty indices for violence and crime, states with lenient gun control have far more violence and crime.
Considered by stats whose stats? Yours?
I havent seen ANY of your posts contain links to facts to back up your statements. Don't post a link to a left wing propaganda site, I won't consider opening it, even for entertainment purposes. You post nothing more than lies & stupidity. You should not be allowed to v**e; you are too stupid.
Hemorrhoid, Ill tell you who is in charge of keeping crime statistic records for the US and it aint a Left wing propaganda outfit; it is the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Here is a link to some of the reports available as tables in Excel or PDF.

http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/nibrs/2013/table-pdfs/crimes-against-persons-offenses-offense-category-by-state-2013I would suggest you quit reading data from those propaganda websites, grow a brain and start researching data from a trusted, reliable source. If you are buying into the propaganda (which you obviously are), and the facts show something completely different, how stupid does that make you? That was rhetorical, dont answer.
