Just watched this 6:25 sec video by Bill Whittle on Gun Control/Murder rates:

Doing a search of Liberty's Torch, I did find eight other Bill Whittle videos going back as far as 2012 (but not this one}. If you've seen it already I apologize, if not, I highly recommend it.
Ideal educational material for that favorite liberal in your life.
Bill Whittle has done hundreds and hundreds of videos, and most of them are excellent. Look for his stuff of PJ Media, Truth Revolt, BillWhittleChannel (Youtube), and Common Sense Resistance.
ReplyDeleteI'd provide links, but y'all have search engines, right? ;-)
Whittle didn't bother to mention it, but perhaps it _is_ the guns. I understand that there are supposedly in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 _defensive_ uses of guns used to _stop_ bad guys every year. Often without firing a singe shot, but by brandishing one.
ReplyDeleteDr. John Lott (http://crimepreventionresearchcenter.org/about-us/) who was once a gun-fearing liberal, says the mere presence of a gun is sufficient to deter many criminals from targeting the person carrying it.
So, it is safe to say that the high incidence of guns per capita in this country may well be one of the reasons our murder rate is so low. Perhaps it _is_ the guns, but not in the way the Left would have you believe.
