Should We Have a Sticky For Pro-Gun Data?

[beast1989]

I came across an argument on facebook and some lib friends were ganging up on a buddy of mine. I figured creating a sticky for us to reference gun data (links to articles, charts, logical perspectives, etc) would be pretty handy in situations like this. I dont care if its located in the general or 2A section.

What do you guys think?

Since the outset of the Chicago handgun ban, the Chicago murder rate has averaged 17% lower than it was before the law took effect, while the U.S. murder rate has averaged 25% lower.

There's a recently posted thread here that references an article written by a psychiatrist that can be found at the Jews for the Protection of Firearm Ownership site.

The psychiatrist contends that using facts, reason and logic will not work against liberal gun haters and why. She also contends that trying will just make then angry and more sure of their beliefs and why.

More importantly she provides proven pschological methods that can be used to turn the haters around and disavow them of their beliefs if they aren't too far gone.

Well worth the read.
