I dunno. I heard this morning that the Obama admin is ramping up calls for more gun control. Supposed to have a meeting with the NRA guy and hollywood and video game producers...

My concern is that the mainstream media is dominating the debate (Fox is the lone exception) and they will demonize the opposition with many people falling for it. Let's hope not though. More people are waking up and trusting them less.

I wish Ted would have phrased that statement as a question for this asshole. I'd like to hear the excuses.

I'm tempted to watch the whole video, but I have a feeling the Nuge will just dominate poor schlubby out-of-his-league Piers Morgan. I'd like to see Nugent go up against someone just as prepared and with just as big a personality - Penn Jilette, maybe.

Also, Nugent's statement that "Where you have the most armed citizens in America, you have the lowest violent crime rate; where you have the worst gun control you have the highest crime rate" piqued my interest. For the sake of this post, let's assume that this shows causation, and not just correlation. Why not.
According to the FBI, here are the top and bottom ten states in violent crime (not counting DC, which is by the far the most violent in all cases). Top ten (highest violent crime rate). According to Nugent, these should be the ten states with the fewest armed citizens. Tennessee 608.2 Alaska 606.5 South Carolina 571.9 New Mexico 567.5 Nevada 562.1 Delaware 559.5 Louisiana 555.3 Florida 515.3 Maryland 494.1 Arkansas 480.9 Bottom ten (lowest violent crime rate). These should be the states with the most armed citizens. Kentucky 238.2 Wisconsin 236.9 Minnesota 221.2 (not counting violent rape) Wyoming 219.3 Idaho 200.9 Virginia 196.7 Utah 195.0 New Hampshire 188.0 Vermont 135.2 Maine 123.2 I'm not seeing his correlation - but let's check homicides specifically, instead. Highest homicide rate - ergo, fewest armed citizens: Louisiana 11.2 Mississippi 8.0 New Mexico 7.5 South Carolina 6.8 Maryland 6.8 Alabama 6.3 Michigan 6.2 Arizona 6.2 Missouri 6.1 Tennessee 5.8 And the lowest, with the most armed citizens. Idaho 2.3 Oregon 2.1 Maine 2.0 Utah 1.9 Iowa 1.5 Minnesota3 1.4 Rhode Island 1.3 New Hampshire 1.3 Vermont 1.3 Hawaii 1.2 Still not seeing it. Perhaps firearm deaths, then: for this one, I went to Table 20 and made a simple ratio of firearm deaths to the 2010 population of the state from here. For whatever reason, Table 20 doesn't include Alabama or Florida. Highest firearm death rate, again with the fewest armed citizens: State Deaths Population Ratio Louisiana 402 4,533,372 8.867571424 South Carolina 223 4,625,364 4.821242177 Maryland 272 5,773,552 4.711137962 Mississippi 138 2,967,297 4.650697251 Missouri 276 5,988,927 4.608504996 Michigan 450 9,883,640 4.552978457 Tennessee 244 6,346,105 3.844878079 Georgia 370 9,687,653 3.819294518 Arkansas 110 2,915,918 3.772396892 Pennsylvania 470 12,702,379 3.700094289 And the lowest, with the mostest. State Deaths Population Ratio Maine 12 1,328,361 0.903368888 North Dakota 6 672,591 0.892072597 Minnesota 43 5,303,925 0.810720363 Montana 7 989,415 0.707488769 Vermont 4 625,741 0.639242115 Iowa 19 3,046,355 0.623696188 South Dakota 5 814,180 0.614114815 Rhode Island 5 1,052,567 0.475029143 New Hampshire 6 1,316,470 0.455764279 Hawaii 1 1,360,301 0.073513142 If anyone can tell me what in the world Ted is talking about, I'm all ears. |

I appreciate all of your work but I am sorry you wasted your time trying to weigh in on an argument between two serious malletheads (Morgan and Nugent). What a collosal unformatted time vampire that must have been...
