3. Wow!!! Another pro gun control "study"? Quelle Surprise?

I've come to the conclusion that the reason gun control is so pathetic as a movement, is because instead of actually ever doing anything legislatively, they spend all their time, effort and money on "studies" that say what they want them to say. Hoping against hope (and experience) that somehow just the right "study", or just the sheer cumulative mass of "studies", will finally make their case and Australian style gun control will magically happen some day.

Must be the case, since the OP and his ilk seem to average posting about 4+ "studies" a week without comment or other support.

But then again, posting somebody else "study" is a lot easier than actually doing anything I guess. Plus you don't have to get off the couch or write a check.

They balance it by posting a steady stream of crime stories, since the True Crime Group never seems to get any of the love. I guess they are supposed to make gun owners feel guilty?

But, for some odd reason they don't seem to ever post much about all those gun control "wins" in the legislatures, state or Federal?
