I would question those statistics..

I never heard the term "gun free zone" until the 21st century.. when was it ever used back to the 1950s???

Breitbart news, makes this a very unreliable article...


The CPRC , per the web site seems to be an OK program, but a look at its founder and the lean seems to be very conservative..

Notes: The Crime Prevention Research Center is a nonprofit founded in 2013 by John Lott, author of the book “More Guns, Less Crime.” He is best known as an advocate in the gun rights debate, particularly his arguments against restrictions on owning and carrying guns. Lott’s work has been called “junk science” as he has been accused of accepting funding from the National Rifle Association. Lott denies this claim. Any claims made on this website need to be fact checked with credible sources. (9/2/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 4/5/2017)

No I don't believe it anybody can make a video and I'm pretty cynical bout that kind of stuff Before Social media became popular the E-mail was the big means of communication and I kept getting v***l emails from my conservatives friends and relatives that made false claims with the most egregious in large caps and red letters with a request to send the email to every one in my address book. I never did my mother taught me as a young boy to never believe anything I heard and only half of what I read and never spread un corroborated rumors and I have carried that value through lout my life. Most of the v***l emails were obviously a lie but those that weren't apparent I would research and fact check. A cousin in Kansas once asked me to fact check it because she didn't have the time and she knew I would. I received so much of that stuff I think I obtained the equivalent of a college education refuting that crap. during that time I never once received a v***l email from a liberal friend, it as all coming from the right. It all stopped with the advent of social media the method the Russians used to manipulate our 2016 e******n. Conservatives believe that stuff because its what they want to believe it

I'll stand up any day for mine and I'll admit I'm bitter the FDR New Deal lifted millions out of poverty and into the middle class then the modern conservative movement began rising in the 1970's hell bent on pealing away the new deal like an onion until there was nothing left they demonized the word liberal until it became a four letter word and Liberals began avoiding the word and referring to themselves as progressives. Today all that's left of the New Deal is Social Security and FDIC and Republicans have tried for decades to privatize S.S. so they can put their name on it. Amazingly the new deal coalition was k**led by the early 1970's and the county has moved further and further to the right, always further to the right. Call it bitterness, call it a liberals lament, but it's real
