High rates of gun ownership do not correlate with higher rates of homicide by firearm.

The UK’s Gun Ban Works, Doesn’t It?
Gun laws in the United Kingdom have gradually over the years become more and more restrictive, to the point where today the laws and licensing requirements effectively ban private gun ownership [ref].
Yet homicide rates in the UK have been rising. Mark Easton of the BBC wrote:
More Gun Control, More Murders
Washington D.C. has one of the highest murder rates in the U.S. It also has perhaps the strictest gun control laws [ref, ref]. In 1976 D.C. passed a law that essentially prohibited residents from carrying firearms, and required privately owned firearms to be kept unloaded and inoperable. In 2008 the U.S. Supreme court struck down the law as constitutional. During D.C.’s unconstitutional gun ban its murder rate was 73% higher than prior to the law’s enactment [ref].
Police Lieutenant Lowell Duckett, President of the Black Police Caucus, and Special Assistant to the Washington D.C. Police Chief had this say about gun control in Washington D.C.:
No Such Thing as Gun Violence
Several months ago during a Sunday School class I attended the instructor went on a tangent about gun control. I held my tongue as she preached against guns and decried “gun violence”. I wanted to jump out of my seat and shout, “there is no such thing as gun violence!”

An animated analysis of the IPCC AR5 graph shows IPCC analysis methodology and computer models are seriously flawed
Reported By wattsupwiththat.com on 2012-12-19
“This one chart is all we need to prove, without a doubt, that IPCC analysis methodology and computer models are seriously flawed. They have way over-estimated the extent of Global Warming since the IPCC first started issuing Assessment Reports in 1990, and continuing through the fourth report issued in 2007. When actual observations over a period of up to 22 years substantially contradict predictions based on a given climate theory, that theory must be greatly modified or completely discarded…. The IPCC has issued four reports, so, given 90% certainty for each report, there should be only one chance in 10,000 (ten times ten times ten times ten) that they got it wrong four times in a row. But they did!”
Who caused Sandy?
Reported By climaterealists.com on 2012-12-13
“As extensive and tragic as Sandy’s destruction has been, it is not at all beyond the range of what is known about the natural variability of the different meteorological elements which came together to produce it. What is more amazing, at least from an intellectual point-of-view, is the number of prominent government officials, the media, and private citizens who have concluded that Sandy’s destruction was the result (or partly the result) of human influences….. There is no rational basis for such a conclusion other than the prevalent psychological need of so many people to assign a simple explanation for any unusually rare and destructive weather event. History tells us of the strong link between the deteriorating weather which occurred in Europe between the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and the Little Ice Age (LIA), and the burning of women believed to be witches. Estimates are that fifty thousand or more witches were burned to death during the 15th through 17th centuries in Europe. These women were imagined to have a pack with the Devil that enabled them to bring forth damaging weather events or deterioration of climate. And if the weather improved after such burnings it was taken as a sign that these women did indeed have a direct link to the Devil….”
The Fundamental Right to Work
I find it preposterous that there is even the slightest debate about the Right to Work legislation that just passed in Michigan [ref].
Actually, I find it incomprehensible that Right to Work laws should even have to exist.

Lindsay Lohan is not someone I’m very fond of. She’s an immoral publicity hound, who will do almost anything to be in the news. So I didn’t pay much attention when she came out in support of Mitt Romney’s presidential bid. [ref]
