Geraldo Rivera: Guns for Me, But Not for Thee.

It goes without saying that the best way to end talk of yet more gun control is to ask the hoplophobes, hello Geraldo Rivera, to give up their guns, video:

Nobody ever accused Rivera of either being very smart or basically honest.   For example, Rivera admits that his loudly proclaimed eighty-five thousand guns death since Sandyhook, include more suicides than homicides    Look, Geraldo suicide is a choice, not a problem   If you don’t like suicide, don’t commit it.  Now shut up.

More guns in the hands of law abiding citizens means less crime, from Breitbart [1]

The NRA tweeted, “Since ’91, Americans have acquired over 170 million new firearms and violent crimes have declined by 51%.”

This information squares with the findings of a Congressional Research Service (CRS) study covering the slightly shorter period of time from 1994 to 2009. For those years, CRS found that Americans purchased approximately 118 million firearms, and the 1993 “firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide” rate of 6.6 per 100,000 fell to 3.6 per 100,000 by the year 2000. It eventually fell all the way to 3.2 per 100,000 in 2011.

That is more than a 50 percent reduction in “firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide.”

The only good gun control is the ability to hit at what you aim.
