Gun Control thread (merged many)

[Feuer Frei!]

A former mayoral candidate in Tucson, Ariz., is drawing heated criticism from Democrats after he launched a program this week to hand out free shotguns in high-crime neighborhoods.

Well, it seems it's perfectly ok for Joe 'Smokin Gun' Biden to proclaim: "Get a shotgun", but when it's suggested they actually be handed out to people in Texas and Arizona, where they are needed in some neighbourhoods, the elites are getting all huffy and puffy:

State Rep. Victoria Steele, who represents Tucson, called the program plain lunacy.

Arizonans in Tucson and across the state are demanding that we reduce gun violence and create safer communities. Handing out shotguns is not a solution," she said in a written statement.

House Minority Leader Chad Campbell called it "ideological extremism at its worst" and a political gimmick that could have dangerous consequences.

This idea came from the Armed Citizen Project, in a nutshell, handing out guns to citizens in high-crime neighbourhoods and studying the effect.
