F.B.I. STATS DON’T SUPPORT GUN CONTROL

The FBI has issued its preliminary 2009 crime report, showing that the number of murders in the first half of 2009 decreased 10 percent compared to the first half of 2008. If the trend holds for the remainder of 2009, it will be the single greatest one-year decrease in the number of murders since at least 1960, the earliest year for which national data are available through the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Also, the per capita murder rate for 2009 will be 51 percent lower than the all-time high recorded in 1991, and it will be the lowest rate since 1963 - a 46-year low. Final figures for 2009 will be released by the FBI next year.


COMMENTS:
That probably has something to do with the well-known research that shows a dramatic increase in crime in countries where guns have been confiscated.


TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I hear the Republicans are hurting for money? (Gemael ~ Southfield, MI)
A. They have no message, no leadership, no platform. Who wants to contribute to that?


Q. The news they seem to be trying to cover up is that 20 million Americans were on unemployment compensation last year. How can they get away with this? (Faye ~ Redding, CA)
A. The two despicable things about this is (1) that there are probably another 10 million who have given up looking, fallen off the unemployment rolls, or dramatically under-employed and (2) these people are losing their cars, their homes, their furniture, their dignity and their self-respect. This, while Obama and Pelosi are off sunning themselves in Hawaii and scheming on how to get a Health Care Plan passed and Cap & Trade enacted and bailing out Freddie Mac And Fannie Mae….again.


Q. The way you keep harping on Obama, you must be a racist. (Denver~ Richmond, CA)
A. I don’t care if the guy IS black; I still think he’s the worst President this country has ever had, or will ever have again. Yes, he’s even worse than Jimmy Carter.


TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Politics isn't just a game of competing interests and clashing parties. The people of America expect us to seek public office and to serve for the right reasons. And the right reason is to challenge the status quo and to serve the common good.” ~ Sarah Palin

And, he’s going to send Gitmo prisoners back to Yemen so they can get us again? Maybe they’ll fly on Northwest….
