At least, that's what North Carolina's Third District Congressman, Walter Jones, says. Jones, during an interview on Live and Local with Raeford and Friends, doesn't give the proposed ban any chance of even getting through the Senate. Let's hope he's right.
That interview can be heard here https://soundcloud.com/raefordandfriends at least for a few days. Scroll down until you find the link "Interview with Congressman Jones".
The gun ban is not the only issue he talked about. He dealt, extensively, with women in combat roles, the debt ceiling, and more.
Moving on to guns, a hot topic these days, have you noticed that gun control freaks seem to use murder statistics in Chicago when they call for more gun bans and controls? Well, let's just take a look at those stats. The most recent ones I found were from 2011. Actually, the first six months of 2011, January to June. There were 185 homicides in the Windy City. Not sure how many involved guns, or how many of those were pistols, rifles, assault rifles or shotguns. Matters not, but one will rightly assume that most of the murders involved a firearm.
The population of Chicago, according to the 2010 census:
42% White
37% Black
26% Hispanic
...and the rest
The stats, according to the stats available, show that the killers were:
3.7% White
61% Black
35% Hispanic
...and the rest
In other words, 96% of the murders in Chicago in the first half of 2011 were committed by Blacks and Hispanics. Given that the majority of those murders involved guns, would one...if he wants to be labeled a racist or a bigot...not conclude that confiscating guns from all Hispanics and Blacks would reduce the number of murders in Chicago?
In North Dakota, by comparison, there were 10 murders STATEWIDE in a recent year. There are a lot of guns in North Dakota. Less than 2% of the population is Black.
If gun control advocates want to use statistics to prove their cases, then they should show us ALL of the statistics.
Going a step further. Chicago gangs, from the information available, are comprised mostly of Hispanics and Blacks. I can find no stats on the murders and how gangs play in them. But, I would venture an educated guess that a large number of those killings are gang-related. So, why not control gang activity with tough laws and stiff punishment? We "don't need no stinkin'" community organizers to handle tough problems in the inner city, we need tough cops, tough DA's, and tougher judges. Instead we decide that punishing 80-million law abiding gun owners who have more than 300-million guns, guns that were involved in NO murders last year, is the solution.
Typical liberal reaction to a real problem.
