  1. Time to debunk Kyle again: 1. The FBI does gun related deaths studies already, having the CDC do it is a waste of money at that point 2. It doesn't matter if 90% of the American people want it. To start, we don't live in a democracy, we never did. Next, this is a weak issue to run off of and can easily be attacked. Thus, if you ran off of that you will lose. 3. With regulated it says "a well regulated..." not "the well regulated...." thus gave no grounds on who can create such regulation. Knowing that the militia were made up of the people saying "a well regulated...." means self-controlled or self-regulated. Thus, not from the government. So the first part supports gun rights advocates if you actually read it. 4. The argument of muskets is asinine. There were the Puckle Gun, Girandoni air rifle, belton flintlock etc. 5. Again, just because it is popular doesn't mean it is right, effective or a winning manner. How would those laws prevent any of these shootings? So they are not "reasonable". We have laws on the books already, when do we say it is time to tackle more serious issues (like poverty). 6. Suicides are self inflicted and are thus not violence. Also, they make up around 2/3 of gun deaths. In the UK the top method of suicides is hanging. So take away guns people will just use ropes or bridges. Suicides is not a gun related issue. Removing people's rights just because other people are suicidal is not a solution. 7. The facts are known. The meta-analysis study was countered by another Harvard study that made the broader, and more correct conclusion that there is not a correlation either way. Both "studies" were not peer reviewed and were pretty much two professors writing up something to push an agenda. So that meta-analysis that Kyle cites is not credible. Looking at the US the number of guns has been increasing for the past 20 years while gun murders have been dropping. So that data goes against what Kyle is saying. So if Kyle were leading the democrats they will lose, bad.

  2. The Puckle Gun existed during that time. They had more than muskets at that time.
