Really? You a big fan of the UN? _______________________________________- I found this video to be interesting and frankly surprising. The guy is obviously a gun ownership advocate, but he doesn't come across as a ultra right wing nutcase. He makes solid points about how the media and some politicians play on emotions resulting from tragic events, but then puts them in overall perspective. I think the points he makes towards the end of the video makes more sense than anything coming out of DC or many of the reactionary media commentaries. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ooa98FHuaU0 ==== He makes a lot of sense and confirms what many of us already suspected. Since his views do not support the emotional anti gun agenda however, he will not get much notice in mainstream media. Anyone highlighting the inner city crime problem that we have will usually be accused of racism shortly thereafter. |

Relying on statistics from the UN? Really? You a big fan of the UN? Did you find fault with the data - compiled by the World Health Organization? "Public health data on homicides were mainly derived from databases on deaths by cause disseminated by the World Health Organization (WHO)." Maybe you should stick to projecting about your maternal relationships. Salmonbait Skirted the question, didn't you? That's like me quoting Sean Hannity to make a political point. If you're a modern Republican, you hate the UN. |
