"Gun Research Without Politics"

That’s what they promise with new “research” being conducted at Arizona State University, using a $5 million dollar grant from the National Institutes of Health, one of the most anti-gun fool outfits there are. Do you think their results won’t be used politically? If you do, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn that can be yours at a song. Gun research without politics. Now THAT’S funny! Since when have you seen ANY “gun research,” on either side, that didn’t end up with politics? No matter which side the research comes down on, one side supports it, and the other side opposes it. That’s the very DEFINITION of politics. As with philosophy, you just cannot divorce gun research from politics, and to promise to do so is a bit naive. And anti-gun politicians ARE naive. They think simply passing a law against something will stop people from using it. They think if they can just get rid of guns, crime will stop. One of their most popular idiot laws is the “gun-free zone.” And many businesses also declare their property as a “gun-free zone,” telling people to leave their guns at home when they come there. It is those “zones’ where most gun crime occurs because the bad guys know the law-abiding won’t usually be armed, and able to oppose them, there. (ABC 15)
