PICTURES: These Two Maps Completely Destroy Everything Liberals Say About Gun Control


American gun owners are often broadly blamed for the gun violence that occurs in this country.
But that false narrative put forward by the liberal media and progressive politicians is easily debunked, simply by looking at two starkly similar, yet wholly different maps.
You can learn just about everything you need to know about the prevalence of gun violence and gun control by comparing two maps: the FBI map of the United States detailing the number of gun violence occurrences and the 2012 electoral map showing which counties voted Democrat or Republican.
There are striking similarities between the areas of the country with the highest rates of gun violence and the areas of the country that largely vote Democrat.

Another Failed Gun Control Experiment




It sounds strange, but my two favorite columns on gun control were authored by self-identified leftists. But they didn’t let ideology trump common sense.
Justin Cronin, for instance, explained that restrictions on gun ownership undermined his ability to protect his family. And Jeffrey Goldberg looked at the evidence and concluded that guns make people safer.
This doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate gun control columns by non-leftists. This Larry Correia piece, for instance, is must reading if you want to understand about magazine limits and so-called assault weapons.
And if you like real-world evidence, Jeff Jacoby of the Boston Globe examines what happened after Massachusetts adopted onerous gun control legislation. He starts by explaining the law and what supporters promised.
