I prefer a few statistics rather than NRA propaganda.

Murders per million people per annum:

43 United States
15 Canada
14 United Kingdom
5 Japan

And 42 out of each of those 43 murders are by gangabangers on other gangbangers who didn't pass a background check, they just bought the Glock from Jamaal's trunk, stolen of course from a ratty pawn shop.

If you outlaw guns, only the outlaws will have guns.
An armed society is a polite society.
Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun.

These statements are true, and those who dispute them can only be categorized as hoplophobes.

MN passed their "shall issue" permit to carry a pistol 3-4 years ago now, and there have been ZERO violent crimes commited by permit holders.

In fact, I seem to remember that there are more crimes committed by police officers in the US than by ordinary citizens who have a permit to carry a pistol.
