It is virtually impossible to buy a handgun in New York City and the result is the number of murders per year has gone down. According to the US Federal Census, the population of NYC was 8,244,910 in July of 2011 – and New York City “is on pace to finish the year with just over 400 murders, NYPD historian says”.

In 1990 [...] “the city logged a record 2,245 murders”.

Looks like gun control does actually work, no?

I cannot imagine being the mayor, or police chief in some cities in this nation and having to face what the NRA and gun advocates have wrought. Even the law abiding citizens who have a gun for self-defense and who might fight back only put a target on their back.

Yes, I am saying there are citizens who deserve to have their rights stripped BEFORE they commit violent acts. It seems to me that there are too many people who refuse to see what we are up against. I owe NOTHING to a mentally ill person who wants a gun. I owe NOTHING to a gang member or felon who wants a gun. Neither should our laws and rights protect them getting one.

If I was Cuomo, Christie, Nutter, or any other mayor or governor of these high crime, high gang, high mentally ill on the streets areas I would be begging for a ban, a confiscation program and a clamp down on “freedom” that terrorizes my city or state.

Seems (o\ ! /o) might need to go back to school and learn that before making sweeping statements about “liberal schools”, research is helpful to prevent one from looking like a fool.”
–Comment by Hillary

Education is a liberal conspiracy. Facts also are a liberal conspiracy. Both merely confuse soft minds. Only the uneducated actually know anything.

It is meaningless to compare murder rates of cities to murder rates of countries.
Dan was right to call you on it. Move on. There are much better points our side can make.
And ‘liberal’ math… really?

Massachusetts’ assessment scores for math, writing and reading are in the top two states in the country. According to State Master.com, Massachusetts ranked first in the nation for math and reading assessments and second for writing assessments. Massachusetts ranks second for percentage of people in the state who have completed a Bachelor’s Degree as well as second nationally for percentage of people in the state who have completed an advanced degree.

“DC suffers from its proximity to VA as well.”

DC is the ruination of northern Virginia. Our nation’s capitol is disgraceful. It abolishes it’s own Second Amendment and is then overrun with crime both on the streets and in the ivory towers. Sad.

Apparently liberal schools teach math the same way they teach history…with creative liberty and a lot of important things omitted.
