OT - an anti-gun convert big time on our side now

[AJMD429]

An interesting article about an anti-gunner who realized the 'facts' just don't support gun control; he's now on our side and one of the leaders.

I love this bit:

To conduct his research, Nemerov decided to only use statistics from Healthcare organizations, government sources, and gun control organizations. For his initial study, he decided to purposely discard any data that came directly from pro-gun organizations such as the Second Amendment Foundation, the Gun Owners of America, and the National Rifle Association.

The result of his research changed his mind on the issue. The research (of 99% pure anti-gun org stats - OI) showed that there was no reliable evidence showing that gun control decreased violent crime, but that much of the data showed that higher levels of gun ownership and Right-to-Carry laws corresponded with decreased violent crime. It also showed how the antigun organizations’ own statistics proved how ineffective gun control really is.

One of my favorite books is "Restricting Handguns - the Liberal Skeptics Speak Out"... whis says pretty much the same thing, and said it back in the 80s..

I hate to say deja vu, but isn't this the same sort of research John Lott did a decade ago?

Doesn't sound like it, because it sounds like this guy tried to to a "Bellasides" and research only anti-gun data... but came away realizing that the antis simply make things up to fit their socalist agenda.

If an anti-gunner is honest, and reviews data logically without prejudice, he or she can only come to one conclusion.

Most of the anti's are anything BUT honest though!!!
