Will this harvard study settle the gun control debate?
[url=http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/08/27/Harvard-Study-Shows-No-Correlation-Between-Strict-Gun-Control-And-Less-Crime-Violence][quote]The authors of the study conclude that the burden of proof rests on those who claim more guns equal more death and violent crime; such proponents should "at the very least [be able] to show a large number of nations with more guns have more death and that nations that impose stringent gun controls have achieved substantial reductions in criminal violence (or suicide)." But after intense study the authors conclude "those correlations are not observed when a large number of nations are compared around the world."[/quote][/url]
I should certainly think so.

I support instant background checks, and I have no problem passing laws to regulate the privates sales more, but please don't pretend like guns won't get into the hands of thugs and criminals. The liberals promote these "gun free zones" and restrictions on public carry, and all they are doing is making people less safe. If politicians want to get tough on guns and actually do something, they need to start by dramatically increasing prison sentences for people who commit crimes with a firearm, regardless of how minor the crime seems to be. Hold up a 7-11 with a gun, mandatory 30 year sentence. Rob someone on the street with a gun, mandatory 30 year sentence. Get caught with a gun as a felon or a stolen gun, 20 years. I live in a city and we have armed robberies every day. We are all sick of the gun violence, but please do not expect me to surrender my ability to protect myself because you want to put a "gun free zone" sticker on your store window and feel happy feelings inside.
