Somebody should read that article to Michael Moore. Or roll up a copy of the paper and try to beat some sense into him with it.

Moore is proposing the 28th Amendment, which would repeal the 2nd Amendment. It would ban all automatic and semi-automatic weapons, mandate that all guns must be "smart guns", and require that all guns must be stored at a licensed gun club or government-regulated gun storage facility and taken out only for hunting or shooting events. Moore says, "Believing that having a gun in your home provides you with protection is an American myth.”

We already have smart guns. Every gun I own is smarter than Michael Moore.

Moore is woefully, demonstrably wrong about that.

I agree with him. That's why I always carry my gun with me. My home is safe. It's the city streets that I worry about.

The day after his proposed 28th Amendment passed, is there any doubt that Moore would be demanding a ban on all bolt-action hunting rifles? After all, that's what military sharpshooters use, and no civilian needs a high-powered sniper rifle.

Chicago is a leading candidate for the title of gun control capital of the country, and few people there have access to that kind of personal protection. The city of almost 3 million does not have a single gun store.

In an average month, there are more murders in Chicago than the number of people just killed in Las Vegas. I don't hear Michael Moore or Jimmy Kimmel or the other experts weeping tears about that.

Rahm Emanuel should read John Lott.

Great point. You know Dinesh Disouza has a good insight on countering this people who are entrenched in great lies: confront them with great truths as in the research based facts illustrated in JR's initial post and yours.

Thask, I think you might be, uncharacteristically, a bit off on this one.

9/27/17: Springfield homeowner shoots intruder

9/27/17: Gaston Co. woman grabs gun, chases away burglars


9/26/17: Would-be robber fatally shot after forcing family into basement

9/26/17: Homeowner hold Verona man at gunpoint


9/25/17: Woman shoots ex-boyfriend in self-defense as he tries to break into apartment

9/25/17: Homeowner shoots burglary suspect dressed as woman

9/22/17: Homeowner holds wanted man at gunpoint until police arrive

9/22/17: Man shot during attempted burglary


9/15/2917: Homeowner shoots at intruder during home invasion

9/15/2017: Intruder kicks in wrong door, gets shot

9/18/17: Homeowner fatally shoots man in self-defense

9/13/17: Homeowner shoots suspect beating elderly woman with baseball bat

9/12/17: Mom with gun chases intruder she found near teen daughter with special needs

9/12-17: Felon fatally shot while breaking into rural Idaho home

I've just scratched the surface, but I'm getting tired of typing. I will just point out that it's understandable that Michael Moore misses all these stories, since only local media report them. National mainstream media avoid them like the plague.
