Howie, you gotta quit smokin' kangaroo shit.  There isn't an 80 year old woman
on earth who can go up against an armed and trained warrior with her bare
hands, your wishful thinking notwithstanding.

What difference does a semiauto make when you're defending yourself?  Does the
bullet act differently?

The crime rate is based on figures reported by ALL police agencies to the FBI,
called the Uniform Crime Report.  It tracks the big five crimes among other
things.  Our statistics are based on the UCR, and are not subject to challenge
by either side.  They are what they are.  John Lott, of the Univ. of Chicago,
did research on crime rates, gun ownership, anti-gun laws, and concealed carry
in every county in the US and concluded that where citizens are allowed to
carry concealed weapons, the rates for the big five are down significantly over
those that don't.  His data, along with data from seven or eight other landmark
studies prove beyond question that gun control doesn't work, doesn't lower
crime, and doesn't save lives.  It does, however, facilitate criminals in their
work, and turn citizens into victims.

As for Michael Moore, he wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit off his
balls.
