[h=2]HOMICIDE DROP WHILE GUN OWNERSHIP RISES SHOWS ANTI-GUNNERS WRONG, SAYS CCRKBA[/h]Thursday, January 12th, 2012
BELLEVUE, WA – This week’s revelation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that homicide is no longer among the leading causes of death in the United States – at a time when gun ownership is at an all-time high – shows that the gun ban lobby has been wrong, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
“The CDC’s report for 2010 that removes homicide from the top 15 leading causes of death in this country coincides with a period of record high gun ownership,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “At the same time, increasing numbers of citizens have obtained concealed carry permits and licenses. This is pretty strong evidence that rising gun ownership does not translate to more violence and murder.”
Gottlieb, co-author of the newly-released SHOOTING BLANKS: Why Facts Don’t Matter to the Gun Ban Crowd with Dave Workman, noted that the CDC has long been a source of data exploited by gun prohibitionists.
“I wonder how anti-gunners will try to spin this report,” he mused. “Gun control extremists will have a hard time explaining how, after years of repeated predictions and warnings that more guns in private hands will result in more mayhem, that homicides are no longer among the top causes of death in the United States.
“Gun banners can’t have it both ways,” Gottlieb continued. “If the data had shown murders on the increase, you can bet your life savings that they would be screaming ‘We told you so!’ on every front page in America.”
Gottlieb said the CDC report is just one more demonstration of how wrong anti-gunners have been in their campaign of fear against private gun ownership.
“This new information correlates with national crime trends over the past few years, showing declining violent crime while gun ownership has increased,” he concluded. “You simply can no longer demonize gun ownership or the Second Amendment as a leading cause of crime.”
With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is one of the nation’s premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization, the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the United States. The Citizens Committee can be reached by phone at [COLOR=#49535A !important] (425) 454-4911 , on the Internet at www.ccrkba.org or by email to [email protected].

Wow, Dill. I took you for a little more level headed than that. You really believe one is that directly tied to the other? Crime rates have been declining for the last decade and you want to say it's all because of gun ownership? It may have something to do with it, but it's a stretch, like Al Gore inventing the internet. I'm around convicts all the time. Know what their afraid of? Jail time, a criminal record that stays with them forever, no decent job prospects, other criminals with guns. Afraid of decent people with guns? No. Not really. The mind of a criminal doesn't always work that way. Why? Because I am a conceited jack ass. First off, if I'm breaking into your house, I have a gun too and it doesn't even enter my mind that you can out-shoot me. I am the fastest, strongest, baddest, mo-fo on the block. If it's me or you, say good-night Dill. You gotta realize the mindset these people have. You probably have more to live for than the hardened criminal and he's willing to roll the dice. So maybe you feel more safe, but don't think for a moment it's because the criminal mind has suddenly become afraid of an armed public. Hell, the criminal mind is probably raking in a fortune selling to the armed public.

​LOL BB. I don't recall posting any comments. It's amazing how you conjectured all that from my post. I didn't know you could read minds through the internet.

Well I can. And I can see through my computer too. Stop doing that!

Well don't go back. It's more dangerous for you guys now that more of us are armed.
If I went back, as Baba pointed out, I wouldn't care. You really should stop assuming that criminals are rational thinkers. It puts you at a disadvantage...well, most of you.
 
What you say the criminal is thinking:

What will actually happen:

First off, if I'm breaking into your house.BAM! [/QUOTE]

The "criminal mind" won't have time to think the rest as a 9mm hollowpoint turns it into a scrambled egg. End of story.
