Colorado Democrats to roll out tougher gun proposals Tuesday

[TS12000]

The college campus no ccw thing always blows my mind. CCW holders are some of the lowest crime committing subgroups of people in the country yet always accused of somehow causing these shootings? It doesn't make any kind of damned sense at all.

I've only spent a little free time on VPC.org to try to pick apart some of their claims....it's a hobby.
Since my wife is in school full time and a CCW holder AND carries all the time, I picked a part this one for a friend:
http://www.vpc.org/ccwkillers.htm

499 deaths by CCW since 2007.
5 years 7 months
averages to 90 a year.
round down to 300,000,000 people in the US
your chances of being killed by a CCW holder is.....0.000003/year
feel free to compare to cars, doctors, pools, etc etc


Dems: never let facts or statistics get in the way of an emotional argument!

I see there's a figure of law enforcement officers killed by CCW holders. I wonder what the total of the same time of innocent targets or bystanders killed by LEOs would be? Denver alone could probably beat the 14 figure. I also wonder why they think someone willing to commit murder with a CCW wouldn't carry an illegal pistol, since most of the homicides in this country are by people using illegally owned and carried handguns.

Let me explain the college campus no ccw thing; Its not about making campuses safer, its about making gun owners (read: Republicans/conservatives/libertarians) feel unwelcome in their strongholds, thus preserving them as high density leftist echo chambers.
