More Gun Debating

John Lott recently debated (by "debated" I mean "got talked over and ignored) CNN show host Piers Morgan.

See it here.

Two things that Piers kept repeating were the number of people killed by guns and asking "how many people need to be killed by guns before pro-gun people shut up and go away agree with whatever Piers says?"

Two questions for Piers:

1. How many mass murderers need to go out of their way to kill in "gun free zones" before you realize that "gun free zones" are where mass murders target?

With just one single exception, the attack on congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson in 2011, every public shooting since at least 1950 in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry guns.

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany  established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

China  established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

How many murders, with guns, occur in this country?  More, or less, than 56 million?


And a question for you CNN viewers: Do you think that CNN is unbiased and non-partisan? If "yes," then I direct your attention to Piers Morgan.
