“These two businesses did not get looted in Ferguson”
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

Yeah a big study on guns showed high numbers of gun owners in communities(cities/countries) always equated to lower rates of violent crime. And violent criminals, rampage nut mass killers etc, go to low gun, gun controlled areas. Bottom line: predators don’t like becoming prey.
A very politically incorrect reality.
Those “facts” that you have supplied are certainly made up, it is well known that when gun free zones are created and fewer responsible individuals do NOT have firearms, people, even of the the more aggressive and lawless kind behave in a more civilized, courteous and respectful way. And in addition government can be trusted with the peoples freedoms. Pure right wing, Rush Limbaugh, NRA, Founding Fathers BS!
LOL!!!
No that’s a complete fantasy. From professors withy chairs at Princeton, to FBI stats, to news reports. fewer guns drives up violent crime. Nationally, internationally, etc. Even with very consistent rises year after year after gun control is slamed on, and same rates of declines after they rae reduced.
Are you sure? Isn’t it that the people in America having access to the guns is what causes the American people to do all of those bad things that they do? If there were no guns how could anyone shoot another person? I don’t believe the FBI statistics that you site, people just don’t do those things, if you give them the chance by having the government take away all of the guns they will love each other instead of shooting each another. Isn’t that the nature of man?
Have you ever read any comment that I have ever made on this site / subject?
Gun violence is generally “professional”. Criminals using it to commit crimes, gangs to secure turf, intimidate folks for payoffs, etc. Since gun control laws really have no impact on crooks having guns (they don’t buy guns from stores that follow the laws, the penalties for the crimes dwarf that of having the gun, etc), but does greatly inhibit their victims (prey) from arming themselves. So it makes violent armed crime much safer and more practical for would be criminals. So the violence and weapons usage of crocks goes up. Burglers who used to try to sneek in at night, change to kicking in doors and demanding money at gun point, assuming mush less risk of folks in the house shooting back etc.
Also even if the gun use declines, the violence goes up. Again, the victims have less ability to fight back so….
In some cases it brings out more sick crooks, rapists, serial killers, rampage killers (like the guy in Colorado why tried to shoot up the folks in a Batman movie and escape like the joker, or the guy in Connecticut shooting up school children, etc [that god they used flashy looking AR-15’s not more lethal but non “assault style” hunting weapons], etc) who just want to hurt folks and see a opportunity. But mostly its just a practical “business” decision.

Of course, why?
