Of course they are not focused on saving lives, or they would actually research where the most lives are lost, and how they are lost.

Those who wish to take guns from lawful gun owners are too busy getting bad information from all sources of media. They believe to much hype and hysteria being shoved in their faces by the hour. Most without any meaningful facts or truth.
Researching the real truth can be found from both FBI and ATF stats over the last 10 years. Their info is readily available on line with just a little searching.
The NRA in it's monthly publication shows many cases of people saving lives with a firearm. Over they years of taking this magazine I would say the number is well over a thousand of cases of self defenses. Likely many more that never made public notice.

LTC Lee Bouchard - There was one idiotic claim that the DGUs reported on one page of every edition of "The American Rifleman" were all that occurred in the country the past month.
My reaction was to ask the claimant if he thought a 100 page section of the magazine devoted to the subject would please him.

No they want to remove your ability to protect yourselves from those that would enslave you. The fact that you own a gun prevents that

But ... but ... but it's "simple math" --- more guns = more gun crime/violence/death.
Strange how in recent years millions more guns in circulation, more states becoming "SHALL issue" CCW states, or (last count of 13) "constitutional carry" -- NO CCW required, while at the same time violent crime, murder, armed assault, etc. continued its downward trend.
Maybe it's "simple-minded math".

PO3 Bob McCord - In-spite-of/because-of those "lax gun laws", Idaho has the tenth lowest violent crime rate in the country. Maine, now "constitutional carry" and Vermont, the original "constitutional carry" state are even safer.

Dangerous states: Which states have the highest rates of violent crime and most murders?
Violent crimes including murder and robbery are down in the U.S. But some states are more dangerous than others, based on 24/7 Wall St.'s ranking.

PO3 Bob McCord - Newark, Camden, Asbury Park -- places you have to know where it's (relatively) safe. I worked in Newark for 8 years. My employer started a shuttle service to Penn Station because public transportation was so dangerous. Besides, they didn't want staff coming to work high on the second-hand smoke of the reefer fiends on the bus.

PO3 Bob McCord - Yep. NJ is "The Garden State", and we still have a lot of small farms and woodland areas that have not been turned into condo developments, but the developers are slowly taking over.
My Monmouth County also has a number of thoroughbred horse farms, which provide horses for Monmouth Park track, and every track in the country. There are also trotters and pacers raised for the harness track at Freehold, and at least one farm that specializes in breeding equestrian mounts.
Then there are the beaches along the Atlantic coast, and lakes inland. Both salt and freshwater fishing and boating are popular sports.
It's not all inner city slums, with the associated drugs, gangs, and violence in the state of NJ. Once you get away from the "hotspots" of crime, Jersey has a lot going for it.
