In the wake of the Newtown Shooting, the National Rifle - TopicsExpress



          

In the wake of the Newtown Shooting, the National Rifle Association perpetuated messages that more guns would have prevented shootings like Newtown, and has warned repeatedly that gun confiscation is imminent. But existing research shows that civilians with guns have been wholly ineffective at blocking mass shootings, and that more guns means more homicides. The bugaboo of widespread gun confiscation, meanwhile, has been flatly rejected by lawmakers and the U.S. Supreme Court. These fears have nonetheless prompted a wave of new lax gun laws, gun purchases, and gun permit applications, with many saying they feel safer carrying a gun. Oklahoma, Tennessee, Wyoming, Nebraska, Florida, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin are states to stay out of and not spend your money there, that is if you support gun control. If you unfortunately live there, then be careful, be involved in elections, and hope they shoot each other and not you.
