Gun-related violent crime in Virginia has dropped steadily over the past six years as the sale of firearms has soared to a new record, according to an analysis of state crime data with state records of gun sales. The total number of firearms purchased in Virginia increased 73 percent from 2006 to 2011. When state population increases are factored in, gun purchases per 100,000 Virginians rose 63 percent.

But the total number of gun-related violent crimes fell 24 percent over that period, and when adjusted for population, gun-related offenses dropped more than 27 percent, from 79 crimes per 100,000 in 2006 to 57 crimes in 2011.

The numbers appear to contradict a long-running popular narrative that more guns cause more violent crime, said Virginia Commonwealth University professor Thomas R. Baker, who compared Virginia crime data for those years with gun-dealer sales estimates obtained by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

American's will give up our Second Amendment RIGHTS as soon as you quit making propaganda films, and all leftists like you leave the country.

Dem Sheila Jackson Lee: "Turn In Your Guns"

Posted by Brian

Sheila Jackson-Lee: Arrogant and Brain-dead.
A dangerous combination

I want to know if this "Peoples" representative who goesby the name Sheila Jackson Lee has been tested for brainwave activity in the last several years.  I am hesitant to say that she is the dumbest person in Congress, but she is on the short list.
Ms. Jackson Lee, for anyone who has the patience and intestinal fortitude to follow the barrel full of monkeys that we call Congress, is infamous for some of the outrageous, rude, and unlawful things she has said and done over the last several years.
There is, of course, the famous video of the town hall meeting in which she chooses to answer and talk on her cell phone while a female constituent is asking her a question, oblivious to the groans and anger of others in the room.
Then there is the time that Jackson Lee stood in Mission Control for NASA when the Mars Rover landed, and asked if the rover would "be able to see the flag" left by Neil Armstrong. Mars. The moon. What's the difference?  
She's actively campaigned at polling places while voters are walking up and voting, in violation of federal law.
Now she wants voters to voluntarily turn in their guns to be part of the solution and part of America?  This from a person who shows no regard for the constitution, her constituents, or for any of the principles this country was founded on.  No, thank you! I'll keep my weapons.  
If someone wants to really be part of the solution, vote people like Jackson Lee and most of the rest of these political elites in D.C., your state, county, city, school boards, and any other place you can find these cockroaches.


House Dem: 'Turn in your guns'
By Pete Kasperowicz - 12/19/12 12:40 PM ET    

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Wednesday afternoon urged people to turn in their guns, arguing it would be an appropriate response to last week's mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.  "I would personally just say to those who are listening, maybe you want to turn in your guns," Jackson Lee said on the House floor. "Oh no, I'm not going to take your guns. But look at what Dick's Sporting Goods did … they wanted to be part of the solution and part of America."

Oregon Mall Shooter Stopped by ARMED Citizen, Media Silent

Posted by Brian

Prior to the tragedy in Sandy Hook, CT where 28 people were killed, including 20 children, another potential horrific tragedy was averted at a shopping mall in Oregon.  A gunman opened fire, but was stopped by another man who had a concealed weapon, causing the shooter to flee and eventually take his own life.
How many news outlets will report that this tragedy was thwarted early on by a man with a legally registered CWP handgun?

Media blackout: Oregon mall shooter was stopped by an armed citizen
LIBERAL MEDIA BIASDECEMBER 15, 2012BY: DAVE GIBSON

While reports of Tuesday's shooting at the Clackamas Town Center Mall in Oregon, dominated the national media, until Friday's horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, one very important detail has been repeatedly (and intentionally) left out of the MSM's coverage.

The shooter, Jacob Tyler Roberts, was confronted with an armed citizen, at which time he ran away and shot himself. By the time police arrived on the scene, Roberts was already dead.

That armed man was 22-year-old Nick Meli, who was at the mall shopping with a young woman who was babysitting her friend's baby.

Holder: ‘I Stuck by My Guns’
By Fred Lucas June 12, 2012

(CNSNews.com) – Embattled Attorney General Eric Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that he has “stuck by my guns” during his time in office.

“I’ve enjoyed my time as attorney general,” he told the panel. “It’s been a tough job. It is one that takes a lot out of you. Some raised concerns as to whether I was tough enough for this job. I think that people will hopefully see that I’ve done this job in a way that is consistent with our values.”
