Gunfire death rate in Louisiana is highest in nation

[LaAngler]

Notice how they blame the number of guns as the cause, etc.. blah blah blah....ya right....

"The equation is simple," said Kristen Rand, the nonprofit's legislative director. "More guns lead to more gun death, but limiting exposure to guns saves lives."

The Violence Policy Center concluded that Louisiana is among states with "lax gun laws," meaning states that add little or nothing to federal firearm restrictions, and that permit open or concealed carrying of guns in public.

Louisiana and Mississippi require no permit for the purchase of handguns or rifles, according to a synopsis by the National Rifle Association, which rejects the notion that stricter gun laws reduce violence crime.

Yeah, I forgot that you can buy fully automatic guns without a permit!

What a joke! Take our guns away as law-abiding citizens and the criminals will still have theirs! If they think crime rates are high now, imagine what they'd be when the criminal was the only one left with a gun!

[SULPHITE]

criminals will always be able to obtain guns illegally....b e c a u s e they do not follow the law to begin with duuuuhhhhh you left wing liberal sh-- heads.

"Gunfire death rate in Louisiana is highest in nation"

I'd like to see those numbers broken down into Age, Race, and social status and see what they look like.

#1 cause of death for astericks under age 31, other astericks under age 31...It's a natural 'purging' of the gene pool...

The world is full of crazy people, as long as humans have working thumbs we will find a way to kill each other. More or less guns has nothing to do with people killing each other.

Here are two stories I found very quickly about people killing people without the use of guns in countries where the citizens are not allow to own guns. I guess they better get some better regulations on knives.

Silverbacks don't need no Tumbs to wreak havoc and mayhem on the populace.
I say teachem how to shoot and supply the bullets, evolution will take care of the rest.
Check out the crime statistics of Montana,Wyoming, Idaho, Utah. The one thing they all have in common is......................very few Silverbacks.

i lived in montana for 3 months , during that period there was 1 murder , guess you was involved ???? ding ding ding ding ding!!!!!!!!! prolly the only 1 in the state

I have a co-worker that lives in Montana. The whole state has like 600,000 people.

If they separate La. from NOLA, La. would probably rate a lot lower.
Baton Rouge is making it's way to the top also, but I think it is a lot of NOLA transplants.

You are correct, most of the murders take place in about 3 zip codes in Baton Rouge.

To compare them to silverbacks is an insult to silverbacks. Silverbacks have much higher IQ's.

****ers.
