does GOP stand for Guns Over People?

yeah, i know. it's not scientific proof. but just check out the graph.

the death penalty clearly had no effect on the homicide rate, but it started dropping as soon as gun control became federal law and kept dropping at least till 9/11.

what's more, the drop is virtually all in gun homicides. the non-gun rate hardly changed at all (till 9/11), contradicting the NRA claim that if somebody wants to kill and can't get a gun, he'll find some other way to do it.

but what really got me was what scott mcclellan said when asked why the administration let the assault weapon ban lapse: his boy bush believes the best way to fight gun crime is to "enforce the laws already on the books."

are we in the same universe? the law WAS "already on the books"!

NOW it's NOT.
