Title: Justfacts.com - Gun Control
Post by: Ben on December 17, 2012, 10:13:56 AM
I've not seen this site before, nor have I completely read the very long facts sheet at the link, but what I have read seems on the surface to be fairly unbiased. For instance, they mention how a fairly significant percentage crimes are stopped by armed citizens, but also cite sources that contradict "Shall Issue" states having lesser crime than other states (their footnotes cite cultural differences, etc. as having equal or more weight).

Anyway, given current events, I've bookmarked it to thoroughly read later, and perhaps recommend to all the people that are going to be starting gun control conversations with me in the next few weeks.

A cursory glance seems promising.  I will have to bookmark it, too.
