Certain sections of America, are not America:

...So, next time you find yourself in a conversation about "reasonable gun restrictions," and wonder what that means, it's this: that the process for buying _any_ gun should basically be like buying a suppressor.

It amazes me that the Revolution started in Massachusetts. If this bunch had been there in the 1770s we'd be standing for God Save the Queen and driving on the left side of the road.

Used to be the law in Missouri and much of the South to control African-Americans.

Yup all little feifdoms here. Each town (or sherriiff if no town) decides on their own. There read, yellow and green towns in MA.
As far as the your revolution reference, well, the Lexington Battlegreen is a GFZ per Lexington.

Kirk, when will you come back here and run for office and fix this?

The article says that "Adjusted for age and population, the gun fatality rate in Massachusetts for 2016 was the lowest in the US."

Ok, so what does "age" have to do with squat? I can see the X per 1,000, that is standard, but age? It seems like someone is trying to manipulate the data by throwing in an irrelevant adjustment.

It's a true stat. But take heart! You see Boston's gun death rate blows up the theory that Chicago uses. You see NH and IN have very, very similar gun laws. However Boston is not awash in blood.....
(Yes, our left leaning folks try to blame NH for the deaths that do occur, but compare Boston and Chicago's homicide rates as well as their proximity to "loose gun law" states....)

I'm always suspicious of a lengthy article about how well something works, yet doesn't cite actual numbers. They claim all denials have held up in court, which could mean only the one in the article. Guy has a clean record for last 6 years, maybe he's cleaned up his act.
