Neighborhoods with a high rate of gun ownership have a low rate of violent crime. These are facts. Criminals are opportunists, they will always attack where the resistence to crime is the lowest. But gun control advocates don't care about facts. That's why Michael Marx, I mean, Michael Moore shouted at senile old Charlton Heston and accused him and the NRA of being directly responsible for the death of a little girl. He, like many liberals, do not believe in personal responsibility. It's not the parents fault, it's the NRA's fault. If it wasn't for the NRA, everyone in the world would be holding hands and singing Peace Train, right? Does anyone have a VALID argument for gun control? Just curious.

Note: Holding up a picture of a dead child and yelling, "Look at this little girl!! Look at her!!" doesn't count as an argument.
First, what do you mean by gun control?
