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. That is why you need to dig out the statistics on exactly who is killing whom. It is not the first thing people bring up when they start citing statistics. They would like us to believe it is kids like the ones Newtown who are the main victims. -------------------------- Last night on the local news. Chief Jordon was talking about the rash of killings since the first of the year. Good thing he is Black. As he commented that the majority of the shootings are part of a feud between two African-American gangs. They are feuding over the killing of a girl late last year, and also over the robbery and theft business in the area. I would estimate 90% of the killings, excluding suicide are by drug gangs here in this country. -------------- link http://photos.mercurynews.com/2013/0...pike-in-crime/ |

There is no doubt, however, that you are one of the ****tiest people around. |
