Mississippi...more gun carrying, and after a year....nothing happens...

As the article points out it has been a year since Mississippi relaxed it's open carry laws....the anti gunners said this would lead to blood in the streets.....and.......nothing has happened......no blood, and the world kept turning....peacefully.....

Mississippi Yawning One Year Later Dire Open Carry Predictions Prove False The Daily Caller

What amuses me about this OP is how desperate gun nuts are to post anything.......ANYTHING that might support their gun fantasies

I this case Mississippi passed a law clarifying their concealed carry law. It simply says that a holster does not constitute concealed carry because it covers part of the gun........pretty innocent

Yet we have gun nuts like 2aguy screaming that this is a triumph for concealed carry and that it didn't raise the murder rate

The same Mississippi murder rate that is three times as high as Massachusetts which has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation

You can't make this stuff up


It shows that the anti gun nuts are just that...nuts......law abiding citizens, carrying guns more than ever are not creating more violence....in fact...with more people owning and carrying guns...over 11.1 million people now carry guns for self defense, the gun crime rate is going down, not up....and the gun accident rate is going down, not up..........

And it didn't raise the murder rate.....which is what the anti gun nuts always say before law abiding citizens get to carry guns for protection....dittos Wisconsin, Illinois, and every other state that just enacted concealed carry laws..........

And Mass. is not the same state as Mississippi.....with the same issues.......

Did you even bother to read the link of your OP?

You didn't did you? You just post anything you are told to

The article was on Mississippi clarifying that carrying a gun in a holster is not concealed carry. You trumpeting this as a victory for gun rights is pretty lame

No......it points out that the anti gun nuts said this little clarification would lead to more violence......the nuts are the ones jumping on this slight change because they have a phobia about guns.......and they were proven wrong...again........
 
Both Rudy and Bloomberg benefitted from New Yorks strict gun laws

With Governor Cuomo enforcing even stricter laws, watch New Yorks murder rate drop while the Louisianas, Alabamas and Mississippi's suffer through the highest murder rates in the nation

Yea.....guns keep you safe


No....Rudy and bloomberg benefited from stop and frisk........now that the lefty has ended that and made the police into villians.....you will see New York turn back into the cesspool it used to be......

Should conservatives be pro stop and frisk? Kinda anti freedom and rights.


I'm for the right to carry.....then you don't need stop and frisk....but that is how the Japanese stop gun crime and how Guiliani stopped gun crime....

So you are ok with violating some rights and freedoms?


Did I say that? I don't remember saying that...

What I pointed out was that the reason that New York can get away with disarming it's citizens in the face of violent criminals is that they use police state tactics to disarm gang members.......

Now that they have stopped stop and frisk, add that to the fact that law abiding New Yorkers are still disarmed...and you are going to see more dead New Yorkers.....

Let me know when it happens. I don't think your opinion has any backing.
 
And what about all that gun control in Massachusetts.....

The rise in Massachusetts shootings extends beyond crime. All gunshot injuries not resulting in death, including accidents but excluding suicide attempts, increased 20 percent from 2001 to 2011, according to the state Department of Public Health. Across the country, the rise was 18 percent, the CDC reported.

The increases have occurred despite gun-control laws, passed in 1998, that state officials describe as among the nation’s toughest, with a ban on semiautomatic assault weapons, more stringent licensing requirements, and a mandate that firearms be stored safely.


So....rightwinger....care to reassess what you think of Massachusetts.......

You posted.......increased 20 percent from 2001 to 2011, according to the state Department of Public Health. Across the country, the rise was 18 percent, the CDC reported.

You are aware that the difference between 18 and 20 percent is only two percent aren't you? Hardly a significant trend

If you want a significant trend....look at the Murder rate of 2.0 percent in Massachusetts compared to 6.5 percent in Mississippi.

Umm....you never provided a single reference where anyone said that little clarification would lead to more violence

Why don't you post a single article from before that legislation was passed showing where liberals were predicting more violence

Otherwise, we can only assume you are making it up

I provided the murder rate numbers showing that guns do not keep you safe

You provided a number showing where Massachusetts is close to the national average over ten years. What were the numbers for Mississipi? You didn't post those did you?

Accidental shootings plague Houston area as children play with guns

By Dana Ford, CNN
Updated 12:32 AM ET, Tue March 3, 2015

(CNN)Authorities in the Houston area are urging residents to do more to keep guns out of the hands of children in the wake of three child shootings there in four days.

On Friday, a 3-year-old boy died. Preliminary information shows he shot himself with a gun he found at a home, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

On Sunday, another child, 4, "died under similar circumstances," the office said. CNN affiliate KPRC reported the boy found the gun underneath a bed. Both cases are under investigation.

The third shooting took place early Monday when 5-year-old boy shot his 6-year-old brother, KPRC said. The child was rushed to a hospital and is believed to be in critical condition.

And yet the stupid conservatives/Republicans constantly whine about their children's future because of Obama. Idiots.
 
We have to take a written test and a driving test to get a driver's license. But any dumbass can buy a gun. And MS is a DUMBASS state.

From the PDF linked above.



  • From December 2012 to December 2013, at least 100 children were killed in unintentional shootings — almost two each week, 61 percent higher than federal data reflect.
  • About two-thirds of these unintended deaths — 65 percent — took place in a home or vehicle that belonged to the victim’s family, most often with guns that were legally owned but not secured.
  • More than two-thirds of these tragedies could be avoided if gun owners stored their guns responsibly and prevented children from accessing them.

Yes.....but what they lie to you about....is the home situation where these occur....most of these deaths will be in homes with alcohol or drug abuse, domestic violence or careless parents in general...again, guns are not the major factor in these deaths.....

And it is anti gun nuts like you who fight to keep gun safety education out of grade schools, where it would do the most good at saving children's lives......for you guys....a dead child is pure gold.....you can drag the little body out in front of your allies in the democrat controlled media and blame the guns....

And if there was gun safety education in schools....you best tool for pushing your agenda would be gone.....

Of course...you fail to point out that since more people are owning guns, more people are getting some form of safety education, and gun accidents and deaths are going down, not up.......

Thing is, murder rates were consistently lower back when more people openly carried and there were fewer gun laws. But you flat-earth hoplophobes never want to hear that.
