[...] On Monday, April 8, State Rep. Bill Patmon circulated a letter in the Statehouse asking for co-sponsors for UBC legislation, and stating that “given the increase in firearm violence throughout the country, it has been brought to my attention that Ohio should take part in universal background check.” The very premise for Patmon’s claim that this legislation is needed is false – over the last 20 years, the firearm crime rate has dropped, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, from 6 victims per 1,000 residents in 1994 to 1.4 victims per 1,000 residents in 2009. …Firearm crimes accounted for 11% of all violent crime in 1993 and 1994, but was 8% of all such crime in 2009.

Statistics about crimes with or without guns are irrelevant to the issue of “gun control.”

Americans have the right to be armed (and have armed guards at their schools), period — regardless of any statistics. This is a matter of rights, not statistics.

Amen!
It get’s so tiring having to explain to friends why we have the 2nd amendment. Don’t they teach the history of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights anymore?

Wow. Where to start. Are you saying that the idea of someone kicking in your locked door is simply beyond your comprehension (even though this very thing happens thousands of times each year,) or are you stating that you live in some sort of a super-bunker in mom’s basement, the doors of which cannot be breached short of a direct hit from a depleted uranium round?

Funny stuff and I needed a good laugh after all the jibba jabba from communist tv on confiscating guns. :) My cousin would like to get one of nonpartisan’s famous locked door force fields for her house, since looters managed to get through her locked door and steal her expensive photography equipment.

The left–gleefully riding the great wave of the perfect Marxist storm–has come out of the closet and admitted their real goal all along was to deprive (confiscate) the good guys guns.

The truth is they lie (read Alinsky and Marx) and have lied for decades about their motive, but they cannot force in their real unacceptable agenda until they remove common folks guns.

They’ve never made any real federal attempt to take away the gazillions of illegal guns used daily in crime in our inner cities (The strong police action required might just cost them votes.)

They’ve used guns illegally in “fast and furious” Was it in order to get “gun control” this final obstacle to their real agenda being put into place.

Gun control to the left means one thing–people control! What is it they intend to do to us once our guns are gone (oh yeah-that also should be asked of those criminals)

Unfortunately, the seduced by tainted free candy from the dirty old government man, has a cost, people are far to eager to give up MY freedom to keep their freebies and corrupted lifestyles.

The left is no fool. They knew the war could only be won by taking down our morals,our culture, our families, and our churches.

Our nation, I fear, will be the first in history to voluntarily give up its freedom for the allure of oppressive government control (You don’t think it will continue being “nice” do you?)

[...] Screw up, don’t get fired, get paid and go back to work, even if your screwups cost lives. Wave around a banned rifle magazine and act shocked when police investigate you for violating the ban. Of course gun deaths have been going down for years, but that violates the narrative. [...]

Yes, we should make laws based on mights and maybes. That the only way laws are made.

I’d sure like an example of a “might or maybe” law.

I don’t recall one, offhand.

I agree with ppl with most of these gun laws are abosolutely pointless…either ban all guns or don’t pretend to do anything about it.

No more gun laws.
