If I had the choice, I would go with the Mr. Spock neck pinch, always. Until then, My SIG Sauers will have to do.

What we really need is a system of cameras that just record everything so the moment anyone does anything a group of highly trained seven foot giants wearing full body armor tackle everyone in a small radius and melt all the guns into a massive collection of molten metal saved for the sole purpose of building the Obama library.

Unlike guns, snow blowers aren't scary to the weak minded....

Where has this survey been replicated? By whom? The surveys of Kleck and Lott, among others, have invited replication which has held up in subsequent surveys.

This survey ( http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/ab ... 013.301409 ) was published in 2013 and reviewed "data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Web-Based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting Systems database on gun ownership and firearm homicide rates across all 50 states during 1981 to 2010." It is well known among criminologists that the peak for U.S. violent crime occurred between the early 1980s and the early 1990s during the crack-cocaine epidemic within urban areas. When the epidemic decreased substantially before the mid-1990s, U.S. firearm-related deaths continued to decrease. This survey appears to have cherry-picked the epidemic decade to pump up its results and pretend that they exist in today's world. They don't.

Since the epidemic decreased noticeably, the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics shows this continuing through 2011 ( http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311.pdf ). Localized-data reports show that this decrease continues today.

That is generally the case in CDC (health) statistics.

this study will be replicated when the gun-lobby-owned republican congress stops blocking research and provides funding for studies.

You are indeed correct!
In fact, the last person to try and do a truthful study on gun control in this country was caught by the NRA Gestapo and tortured for the names of all accomplices. What was left of him was executed by an NRA firing squad under the command of NRA Hauptsturmfuhrer Wolfgang Von Raptor.
His family and all the accomplices that were rounded up were sent to NRA concentration camps where they toiled as slave laborers in gun factories and were never heard from again.

It's just unspeakable the death grip the NRA has on this country and the tyranny we live under as a result.
Just unspeakable....... :cry:

I won't even bother to dive into that enough to find out the truth about what the NRA did or didnt do in this case. IMHO they'd be at least mostly right if not entirely so.

CDC stands for Center for Disease Control and should not misused as an annex to push the The Brady Center's or anyone else's anti-gun agenda. Guns are not a disease nor are they disease carriers, they do not emit gamma rays, leak toxins, and do not take control of people's minds. I have several guns but have never been adversely affected by them.
I double-dog dare you to find a case where someone was.
The CDC taking ANY stand on this subject makes anything they do suspect since they have proven to be biased.
