3) Up to 70 percent of murders are gang related

4) Zero NRA members committed murder last year.

5) Our violent crime is intrinsically tied to our welfare population.

6) Less than 4 percent of murders were committed with a rifle-of any sort, any yet they want our rifles.

7) The United States has 88 guns per 100 people. Honduras has 6.6 and leads the World in murders per capita. Lower guns does not mean less murder.

8) Felons get guns by circumventing the law.

9) Guns in the hands of law abiding citizens stops crime, but they ignore this.

I can go on and on and on with facts...but boycotting Colorado is as much a knee jerk reaction as these laws themselves. I also find it amazing that bears in Colorado get two strikes for bad behavior and then, they are terminated. Felons...one...two....three...four, they look at crime as a viable livelihood, and our government continues to provide them with a foot hold (Evan Spencer Ebel as case and point). Their ravage on law abiding citizens seems to have no end!

Where are the deterrents? Why are the existing laws not being enforced?

Sako, I've been to Oz. If given the choice, I would still take the good old USA over anywhere else in the world. There something about being caged (although purportedly secure) that rubs me the wrong way. If you need a host for your trip here, I'll be your huckleberry.
