Actually, the train at Disney just killed some people last year. You are more likely to die on a resort train than be killed by a CCW. you are also more likely to be killed in Chicago even when they had the handgun ban. CCW is one of the safest things going.

As I suspected, progressives have a Koch Fetish.

Not surprising that the idiotic gun law in Florida was crafted by ALEC since legislators are incapable of crafting their own laws. The whole thing is designed to enable profits in the gun industry praying on paranoid customers. Oh yeah, the law was signed by a governor named Bush.

I thought these numbers from the FBI were quite interesting....

Justifiable Homicide
by Weapon, Private Citizen,¹ 2003-2007

Download Excel

Year	Total	Total firearms	Handguns	Rifles	Shotguns	Firearms, type not stated	Knives or cutting instruments	Other dangerous weapons	Personal weapons
2003	247	203	163	6	20	14	23	13	8
2004	222	166	138	11	7	10	38	9	9
2005	196	147	123	5	6	13	33	8	8
2006	238	192	154	12	15	11	31	12	3
2007	254	198	159	8	21	10	38	8	10

¹ The killing of a felon, during the commission of a felony, by a private citizen.

More than 1,000 felons were killed in 5 years by private citizens. These numbers appear quite static over the brief reporting period.

It would also appear that we've had better results with more guns on the streets.

Gun ownership in the US rises by about 4 million units per year. More guns, fewer murders.

As I suspected, progressives have a Koch Fetish.

I've paid for bottle service

I'm glad I'm a riot. You're still very safe in FL and Orlando. Your welcome.

That's because you suck at data analysis, as has been pointed out multiple times.

a) "Gun ownership in the US rises by about 4 million units per year." But the number of households with guns has been declining over the same period.

b) Explain to me why the murder rate in DC had been falling rapidly since its peak in 1993, and was already back to normal levels before the handgun ban was struck down.

The beauty of statistics...you can manipulate them to show anything you want.

Besides, 72% of statistics are just made up anyways.

More guns, fewer murders. That's what matters.

Don;t try to vote democratic
Don't wear a hoodie in certain neighborhoods
Don;t complain about poor pizza service.

I guess what worries me is what's on the don't list that I don't know about.

Ftr, I know exactly where that pizza joint is, and it is not a bad neighborhood. That is what scares me the most.

What scares me is that little Ceasars is considered a pizza joint.

St. Pete is a wasteland. Makes green bay look like manhattan.

Sidenote: don't know why, but if you order a Greek salad in that area it comes with potato salad in the middle.
