Hmmm. What happened towards the end of 2008 that would make them think that they don&#8217;t need a meeting for more than two years?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, they published an article from a State University of New York, Cortland, named Robert J. Spitzer, who has apparently written three books on gun control. What he had so much manufactured bullshit it would fit in just one? Anyway his article is entitled &#8220;SUNY Cortland professor advocates a sensible approach to guns, from New York to Arizona&#8221;. Yeah, sensible.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But one factor both events share in common is the availability of handguns.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the l<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayorsagainstillegalguns.org\/html\/members\/members.shtml\">ist of morons who are mayors and belong to this club<\/a>. Apparently no mayor from West Virginia belongs, so I can&#8217;t help you.<br \/>\nGuns matter. The old axiom that \u201cguns don\u2019t kill, people kill\u201d is only half right. As policy expert Philip Cook has noted, \u201cguns don\u2019t kill, they just make it much easier.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So you see what sensible means, right? <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Admittedly, Syracuse teens who obtain handguns don\u2019t get permits, but would anyone feel safer if legal handgun purchase in New York were as easy as it is in Arizona? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Because, if you don&#8217;t have a permit for your handgun in New York, the gun can&#8217;t harm anyone, right? Yeah I feel safer knowing that New York has made it such an inconvenience to get a permit (it takes about 6 months) that the law abiding citizens don&#8217;t bother with the process and criminals are the only ones armed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I went to the &#8220;Mayors Against Illegal Guns&#8221; website to see what kind of nimnil &hellip; <a title=\"SUNY Cortland professor on guns\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=21918\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">SUNY Cortland professor on guns<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21918\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
