I find it hard for them to defend against an overwhelming change. They are dinosaurs, living in ancient times, thinking all the while how they are modern progressives. They are back-ass-ward dill holes and they must be gotten rid of. It's the morons they vote them in and believe guns aren't saving lives. I demand my right to carry!

And crime still went down in those states.

OP, don't ever cut off your nose to spite your face. NPR has great programing on the weekends. Off he top of my head, This American Life, TED Radio and Radiolab are worth your time.

I second this.

There is often really informative programs on NPR that are not political in the least.

MD will be a forever hold out, just like NJ and NYC

from the article:

It's puzzling that so many Americans are choosing to arm themselves at a time when the FBI tells us violent crime and property crime have been falling dramatically for two decades.

Puzzling? Gee, Scooter, you think there might be a correlation? Ever heard of cause and effect?

Crime goes up = we need gun control.

Crime goes down = You don't need a gun

Gun Control- It works for politicians, let it work for you!

I am so thrilled with where we are right now.

Not if we turn over the needed seats in the GA in 2018.

Also, know the enemy and know yourself and you will never lose in battle. ;-)

I know of no studies that bear out causation in this example.

To me to it doesn't matter though. 2A is a core right that can neither be allowed nor disallowed because of statistics.

Right on both points.

On All All Things Considered, this afternoon, they had interviews with permit holders that had actually used thier weapons. Pretty good, they just let the peoplw tell thier stories.

Is there a re-education camp for those that deliberately tune into NPR?

Might be that thing called the Bloomberg channel. :innocent0

Czechnologist · Apr 12, 2016

I find NPR to be self-righteous as hell at best and vomit-inducing at worst. Funny how I still tune-in, though? It's like I'm obligated to know how their smarmy, teary-eyed horseshit agenda evolves (devolves?) on a daily basis, almost serving as a barometer for how much ammo I should be hoarding at any given time. Otherwise, it's tabloid journalism for people who consider themselves intellectuals. Makes Faux News look unbiased.

At least Bloomburg doesn't receive public funding AFAIK.

Yeah, .... I wonder how long MD can really hold out long-term on this trend? ...

How long can MD buck the trend? Well oral sex is still illegal (on the books) in MD so one would think they can go against common sense trends for a long time... just saying

I did hear that. Pretty nice piece, but they made sure not to promote it. Still, I was impressed they ran that story. I guess they can't avoid something so popular, nationally.
