Gun Control: You're Both Wrong

Gun-Policy Advocates On Both Sides of Issue Push Dubious Figures

Prof. Lott wrote in an email that he counted less-severe incidents to get enough data for statistically significant results. He justifies his exclusion of gang murders because gun usage by chronic criminals "would not be directly affected by the passage of right-to-carry laws."

Another horrible tragedy and sadly another change for people to exploit it to push their issues. It was _____ fault!

From: A Reluctant Note on the Virginia Tech Shooting

All I know is that I hope that the next time something this terrible happens, there is some time and space set aside for hard, quiet reflection and mourning, and less attention paid to the shouters of every stripe.
