    Some interesting info and data points are presented, though not surprisingly their little "panel of experts" are quite lame.

    WalletHub compared the economic impact of guns on each of the 50 states to determine which among them leans most heavily on the gun business, both directly for jobs and political contributions and indirectly through ownership.

    That graphic of the U.S. is worthless. Fifty shades of light blue? Whatever.

    And, yeah, those three "experts" were a waste of my time. "Million hoodies" looking for handouts, another idiot, and a grumpy idiot. Got it.

    I don't understand what's the point of the article, but based on the half-assed "research" and the way the "ask the experts" questions are worded, it's another veiled libtard fluff piece, so it's not worth my time to debunk.

    No, 90% of us DON'T support universal background checks... idiots.

    Some other questions to ask the "experts"...

    Who's responsible for perpetrating most of the "gun violence"?
    Where does most "gun violence" occur?
    What are the gun control laws in the areas where most "gun violence" occurs?
    Are there any laws, gun control or otherwise, currently on the books that are being broken when "gun violence" occurs?
    How are current gun control laws enforced?
    What is due process?
    What is correlation and causation?
    When guns are gone, will there be a way for bad people to hurt me?
    How should I defend myself or others from larger, stronger or multiple agressors?
    Do law enforcement have a duty to protect me?
    What's the average response time for law enforcement?
    Is there any benefit to the public having easy access to firearms?

    Thanks Nate - reading your list of questions gave me a feeling in my gut, that I have not felt, since my Mother passed away 25 years ago.

    ? That's an interesting comparison (may she continue to Rest In Peace), but I don't get it.

    I thought it was a good list of questions...

    Oh - the questions are good - they just keep coming. One after another, non stop. I still don't know if she listened to the answers. Sorry to drift the thread.

    Gotcha, Joel. Your mom had a "fully-automatic" questioning technique. :)

    The original article could've used some of that. As it is, the article has a dearth of analytical substance.
