Study shows gun shows have no effect on homicides, suicides

A joint University of Michigan/University of Maryland study shows that gun shows have no effect on homicide or suicide rates. That doesn't stop the anti's from disputing the study. The Brady Bunch's Helmke's statements in the article below border on the hilarious.

Article is wrong.  Michigan has no waiting period to buy a gun.

California's 10 day wait is actually 11 days. Since regulations say the wait has to be down to the minute, gun stores just make you wait an extra day to avoid the tedious calculations.
T-minus 8 days until I can pick up my 10/22s.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
