The FBI’s report once again confirmed that violent crime rates are lower in states with Right-to-Carry (RTC) laws.
In 2005, RTC states had, on average, 22% lower total violent crime, 30% less murder, 46% lower robbery, and 12% lower aggravated assault rates, compared to the rest of the country.

That has to be BS just ask any liberal. It's a proven fact that it will cause the wild wild west to come back and blood will flow through the streets. At least that is what they say every time a state even thinks about a shall issue law.

One would think after 30 something states (I lost track of the exact # of states that are shall issue) they would pull their head out of their a$$ and quit making a fool of themselves.

I guess this proves one thing criminals are smarter than liberals.

They won't let FACTS get in the way.
Watch what they do over the next few years.

The groups like the Brady Bunch are fueled by irrational fear and emotion. They won't fold up their tents based on facts.
