From the NYT, an editorial on …. well… I guess how to spout (the same old) lies?
Gosh, I don’t even know where to begin. The whole thing is just full of misinformation.
This was a choice piece tho:
States routinely grant concealed carry licenses without proper background checks or training. Indeed, among the evidence Bush officials ignored in their haste to relax national park gun limits was the long list of violent crimes committed by dangerous people with state concealed carry licenses. Contrary to gun lobby claims, the evidence suggests that permitting concealed weapons drives up crime rather than decreasing it.
And your evidence is where?
Actual empirical evidence (to the contrary) can be found here and here and here and here and here and here and if you really need more I can find it.
Furthermore, who wrote this editorial? If you’re going to open your yap at least have the guts to identify yourself and stand behind what you say.
Stuff From Hsoi 
Hyperbole.
If the list of violent crimes committed by CHL holders is long, the list of violet crimes committed by non-CHL holders would be gargantuanly colossal. (A little hyperbole of my own.)
It’s not about facts and figures. It’s about scaring people who don’t know any better. God, I love the Internet. If there has even been one invention in the history of the world that will keep George Orwell’s nightmare from coming true, it’s the Internet.
Besides liberals figure if they say things loud enough and keep saying them people will start to believe them.
