This is the real point to be made here. The Libs predicted carnage to an extraordinary degree - and what happened was the exact opposite. The "dangerous society" never materialized. Just because there is no scientific cause-effect relationship between the decline in homicides and the advent of concealed carry doesn't change the FACT that the gun haters were wrong, wrong, wrong in all of their inflamed rhetoric.ELB wrote:Heh.In news stories from the 1995 regular legislative session, Austin Democratic Rep. Sherri Greenberg predicted gunplay in hospital emergency rooms and Dallas lawmakers said frustrated drivers would shoot each other in traffic. A March 16, 1995, Houston Chronicle news story quoted then-Sen. Greg Luna, D-San Antonio, as saying, "It is going to be a much more dangerous and deadly society we have imposed on ourselves in Texas."
Concealed carry is not likely to change the criminal behavior of the the small minority who do it. That group exists in every society, guns or not. What CC does do is to allow those who want to defend themselves from the criminal element to do so - and at absolutely no additional risk to society. But most of the gun haters don't care about society. They want control and will do anything to try to obtain that control.
