Exactly. It's gun-grabbing liberal-speak.

Are you kidding? That one is more well known than "remove the head or destroy the brain."
That's why New Hampshire is such a crime ridden hell-hole.lain:

It's probably because violence tends to correlate with poverty, and New England has somewhat higher median incomes and that sort of thing.
Better education as well along with lower church attendance. Huh.
More guns = Less crime?
Which is a crock, by the way. Tidy meme, but a crock.

Apparently not so in Illinois?
I believe I shall award you a gold star for incivility. I am not a slouch in that department myself so, I knows one when I sees one!
:bow:
Who said there were no guns in Illinois?
There are a plethora of stringent gun laws in Illinois.
But lots of guns. That's the whole point, right?:think:
More guns=less crime.
Isn't the implication that guns themselves inherently lead to a safer place? That whole "armed society is a polite society" claptrap?
Or maybe, just maybe, this oh-so-simple prebaked-for-NRA formula isn't as brilliant as people seem to think.
That is not the implication. Since criminals and mad men will always have weapons I feel safer if I have a way to protect myself from them. It is just that simple.
You see conspiracies of conservative evil everywhere you turn.
No, what I see is bad thinking. "More guns less crime" simply makes no sense.

consider this scenario: a nut with a gun comes onto a gun-free zone and starts shooting people
who stops him?
a. a guy with a knife
b. a guy who knows kung fu
c. a guy who tells him "Hey! You can't do that here! This is a gun-free zone!"
d. a guy with a gun
The problem is, that's the rare case. That's the outlier. If you own a gun, you are more likely to hurt yourself or someone you didn't intend to than you are to stop a crime.

it's always a guy with a gun
unfortunately, it's usually a cop with a gun, who takes precious minutes to get there
