Why Support Gun Control Knowing The Results?

When gun control got stricter, on the state and Federal levels, the murder rate climbed, and stayed up over 9 per 100,000, often going over 10 per 100,000. As gun control was made less strict on the state and Federal levels, starting with the Gun Owners’ Protection Act and the Florida Concealed Carry law, the murder rate has dropped to 5 per 100,000, making it quite obvious that GUN CONTROL KILLS.

So why do the blood thirsty people want to pass laws which have been proven to cost lives?

Pre-gun control in the UK saw rates of .2 per 100,000, and each gun control law was accompanied by an increase in the murder rate.

Why are there people who support laws originally passed to protect the KKK murderers, (forming the very foundation of Jim Crow laws), and which even now cost lives?
New York City has the oldest gun control law on the books, the Sullivan Act, from 1911. The Sullivan Act was passed so that the criminals being run by Tammany Hall political/crime boss Big Tim Sullivan could make crime safer for HIS criminals.

As for a 1911 law causing a decrease in crime, it went up to almost 15 per 100,000, then started dropping almost 80 years after guncontrol was imposed. The New York city murder rate started dropping in 1995, and the stricter amendments to the NYC Sullivan Act were passed in 1998-causing the murder rate to quit dropping for three years.

In 1995, better policing methods were introduced, putting the focus on the criminal instead of the gun.
Tyler, you need to get more current data than 1994.

Do you support Bill Hr45 as Introduced in House: Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009?

Obama’s Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill. If it passes, gun owners will become criminals if you don’t fully comply.
Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm – any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:

-It is registered -You are fingerprinted -You supply a current Driver’s License -You supply your Social Security # -You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing -Each update – change of ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs – Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail. -There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18. -They would have the right to come into (your home anytime) and inspect that you are storing your gun safely.

Does John McCain Support the Lautenberg Amendment I have written many letters asking the campaign staff…?

and not gotten an answer. While I oppose gun control totally I hold that this act was a subverted attempt by libs to downsize Americas military and downgrade the number of private gun owners using abused women as an excuse. People can kill others with golf clubs when will we be banning those?

Will next Prohibition be about guns instead of liquor?

In the early part of the last century, the nation tried to ban alcohol. The result was speakeasy’s, rum runners, bad liquor, and organized crime.

In this new century, an Obama Administration along with the Democrats in Congress might try to "effectively" ban firearms ownership through heavy regulation, ammunition taxes, and mandatory federal licensing of gun owners.

If this comes to pass, could there be a new Prohibition Era based upon guns instead of liquor? "Gun" Runners instead of "Rum" Runners?
To FireBug below,

The Fed’s don’t outright ban guns, but the enact so much petty and hindering legislation to make it a P.I.T.A. to own a gun that some folks just give up.

Example: If they pass a 100% ammunition tax, that’d drive away a lot of the casual shooters; it’d just become too expensive.

Same with federal licensing. Many folks might refuse to obtain a federal license or pay some outrageous fee for one, and therefore just give up on being gun owners.

It is the strategy of incremental legislation the anti-gun crowd uses to slowly, and eventually completely, erode our gun rights.

LGBT: Do you think gun ownership laws in the US should be tightened?

Reading a article about a pastoor in Kentucky who told his congregation to bring gun to the church to promote safe gun use. heres the article

A pastor in the US state of Kentucky told his flock to bring handguns to church in what he said was an effort to promote safe gun ownership.
Pastor Ken Pagano told parishioners to bring their unloaded guns to New Bethel Church in Louisville for a service celebrating the right to bear arms.
He said he acted after church members voiced fears the Obama administration could tighten gun control laws. When the service began, some 200 people were present, AP news agency said.
"We are wanting to send a message that there are legal, civil, intelligent and law-abiding citizens who also own guns," Mr Pagano told the congregation.
"If it were not for a deep-seated belief in the right to bear arms, this country would not be here today," he said. Ken Pagano, pastor of New Bethel Church in Louisville, Kentucky
The pastor also held a handgun raffle, as well as providing information on gun safety.
"I wish more churches did this, I wish more people did this," the Louisville Courier-Journal quoted one attendee, Doreen Rogers, as saying.
"For some reason, most people think that carrying guns is sinful. It’s not. I think my life is worth protecting."
About 10 members of a private local militia also attended, the Courier-Journal said.
A coalition of religious groups and campaigners held a rival gun-free event at the same time on the other side of Louisville.
"The idea of wearing guns to churches or any sacred space I think many people find deeply troubling," organiser Terry Taylor told AP.
In the US, the right to bear arms is enshrined in the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.
There are thought to be more than 200 million firearms in private hands.
But some gun owners fear that the new administration in the White House could try to challenge or amend some gun ownership laws.
Critics of the laws, meanwhile, link high levels of gun crime with high levels of gun ownership.

does anyone else think gun ownership laws needs to be changed or tightened in the US, do you think the constitution needs to be changed on this matter well since it was written 300 years ago and there was no police or army which there is now?
