Quote:A new day...  A new angle on the gun topic I'd like to present to you all:

 

With the current discussion between Trump and the left being should we relinquish due process (Trumps idea) or should we curtail assualt weapons and large round magazines? 

 

I submit the following quote to you:

 

Koper, Jan. 14: So, using that as a very tentative guide, that’s high enough to suggest that eliminating or greatly reducing crimes with these magazines could produce a small reduction in shootings, likely something less than 5 percent. Now we should note that effects of this magnitude could be hard to ever measure in any very definitive way, but they nonetheless could have nontrivial, notable benefits for society. Consider, for example, at our current level of our gun violence, achieving a 1 percent reduction in fatal and non-fatal criminal shootings would prevent approximately 650 shootings annually … And, of course having these sorts of guns, and particularly magazines, less accessible to offenders could make it more difficult for them to commit the sorts of mass shootings that we’ve seen in recent years.”  http://www.factcheck.org/2013/02/did-the...-ban-work/

 

Ending all immigration from Muslim countries and deporting all Muslims currently in America (both citizen and non) would have a far greater impact on crime. So would deporting all Christians. So would deporting all African Americans. Hell, just building a wall around Chicago and declaring it No Man's Land would. But we don't talk about that because those rights are "different."
