    You are 100% correct. In addition, none of the following is factual. It's all an illusion:

    -human predators hope that their targets don't have guns.

    -9/27/01 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/156671%E2%80%A6 are deeply rooted within Swiss culture but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept"; “In addition to the government-provided arms, there are few restrictions on buying weapons.”

    -1/15/03 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/26568%E2%80%A6 BBC: "’If guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns’" may prove prophetic. Gun crime in the UK is soaring even though it has the strictest gun control laws of any democracy.”

    Nine years later: 12/17/12 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-%E2%80%A6 UK’s violent crime rate per 100,000 people is 2,034; US’s is 466.

    2/2/11 Daily Telegraph:

    -“As of this month, some 40 ships are in their hands and more than 800 crew held captive in these seas south of the Gulf of Aden.

    -“The safest ships of all are flying the Russian flag: armed guards aboard them simply blow pirate boats out of the water and leave any survivors to drown. Attacks on Russian vessels have abruptly ceased.” (Do you think there’s a message there, one that most liberals or democrats seem capable of comprehending?)

    -7/25/12 http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-07-%E2%80%A6 1950 all but one mass-murders in the U. S. where more than three people died were committed in gun-free zones. The Gun-Free Schools Zone Act was passed in 1990.

    -9/25/12 http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/5c1b6a72-c5eb-%E2%80%A6

    ”But almost 30 years after the law [which mandates that all households own at least one firearm for self-protection] was passed, it is still in place and still popular, not least because Kennesaw’s crime rate has remained disproportionately low, even as the town’s population swelled from 5,000 in 1982 to almost 35,000 now. According to the latest FBI statistics, Kennesaw recorded 31 violent crimes – mainly robberies and aggravated assaults – during 2008. In other similar-sized local towns the figures were much higher – 127 in Dalton and 188 in Hinesville. For property crimes – largely burglaries and thefts – Kennesaw recorded 555 while Dalton had 1,124 and Hinesville 1,802.”

    -11/23/12 http://www.timesdispatch.com/news/local/%E2%80%A6 2006-2011 gun purchases in Virginia increased 73%. During the same period gun-related crimes fell 24%.

    -1/6/13 http://www.forbes.com/sites/larrybell/20%E2%80%A6A... to Bureau of Justice Statistics, the firearm crime rate dropped from 6 victims per 1,000 residents in 1994 to 1.4 victims per 1,000 residents in 2009. This has occurred as more and more citizens have armed themselves under right-to-carry State laws. While major crimes show continuing decline in those States, this phenomenon parallels a major crime rise in heavily gun-controlled cities.

    -U. S. Department of Justice http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/vdhb.pdf: 3.7 million household burglaries occurred each year on average from 2003 to 2007; a household member was present in roughly 1 million burglaries and became victims of violent crimes in 266,560 burglaries. [meaning the police didn’t show up in time]

    When seconds count the police are only minutes away.

    ----------

    Give up trying to reason with liberals and democrats. Their “brains” aren’t normal:

    -10/28/10 NBC news: University of California at Davis and Harvard University find “Liberal Gene” as partial answer as to why liberals think the way they do.

    Only if there are no laws to break.

    If the constitutions is a 'living document' and we can say that it says anything we want it to say, there is no crime, only inconvenient activity.

    Yes, and guns do not kill the innocent, too.
