Does Gun Control Work? Submitted by: Robert Morse Website: http://slowfacts.wordpress.com/	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
There have been a lot of claims thrown around after the murders at the Umpqua Community College in Oregon. President Obama and the anti-rights groups have been quick to call for more firearms prohibitions. That got me asking if �gun control� works. I looked at the data, and I�d say �gun control� fails. Here is what I discovered.

Business has been brisk for Larry Hyatt, owner of Hyatt Guns in North Carolina, since the Oregon community college shooting last week that left 10 people dead, including the 26-year-old suspect.
Mr Hyatt saw an even bigger surge in customers after the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut that left 26 people dead, including 20 children, before the gunman killed himself.
After that incident, President Barack Obama made his first major push for stricter gun laws. In the wake of the Oregon shooting, Mr Obama on Friday again urged Americans to challenge the powerful gun lobby, saying he could not do it alone.
However, the calls for tighter gun laws lead to an increase in weapons sales.

Jake Trapper, CNN, asked Gabby Gifford's husband Mark Kelly, what new gun law would have prevented the murder of the students in Oregon?

Kelly responded, �You know with individual events there isn't a single law that would prevent a tragedy like this.�

Of course Kelly is right. �We have enough gun control laws. We don't need more and more won't help. Kelly went on to call for identifying people with mental illness and adjudicating them to prevent them from committing violent crimes.

The point of view of �Arms,� A.J. Somerset�s history of gun culture, might be more important than any of the stories he tells.

Somerset traces firearms history back to frontier times, through old westerns and battlefields and onward to the National Rifle Association, mass shootings, fantasies of a zombie apocalypse and the white picket fences of suburbia, where housewives squeeze off rounds at the range with pink guns.

The liberal playbook in the aftermath of any mass shooting works like this: The left, usually taking it cue from President Obama, declares that we once again have all the proof we need that we need to ban guns (except that they phrase it as "common-sense gun safety laws"), and that any argument to the contrary is self-evidently a refusal to solve the problem of gun violence, which is obviously the result of politicians' fear of the NRA or some sort of cultish devotion to the Second Amendment.

One day after a gunman killed nine people in a shooting rampage at an Oregon community college, the issue of gun control was a hot debate topic at a Lapeer County candidates forum to fill an open seat in the Michigan House.

Former Rep. Todd Courser, the Lapeer Republican who resigned last month to avoid expulsion, got the first crack at answering a question about gun...

Courser said the lack of students carrying concealed weapons left them defenseless to a handgun-wielding 26-year-old shooter, Chris Harper Mercer, who died in a shootout with police.

�People kill people. Guns don�t kill people,� said Allan Landosky, a Republican candidate from Lapeer. �A spray bottle of gasoline could do almost the same amount of damage.
