OMG Guns Everywhere

[Minimalist]

While I'm reading that study....it's 120 pages long and somehow I think KUSA's excerpt from a nut-job web site is not going to match up with the actual conclusions of the report...we have this excerpt of those 'responsible gun-owners' from fucking Georgia. Get used to this kind of shit.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. —

Parents at a Forysth County park abruptly stopped a children's baseball game after growing suspicions of the behavior of a man carrying a gun in a waist holster Tuesday night.

"He's just walking around [saying] 'See my gun? Look, I got a gun and there's nothing you can do about it.' He knew he was frightening people. He knew exactly what he was doing," said parent Karen Rabb.

Rabb told Channel 2’s Tom Regan the parents grew so alarmed that they brought the game to a halt when the man declined a request that he leave a parking lot overlooking the baseball field.

Hmmm...well, the conclusion of that particular report as written by the authors...and not a bunch of end-of-the-world nutters... is:

CONCLUSION

The research agenda proposed in this report is intended as an initial—not a conclusive or all-encompassing—set of questions critical to developing the most effective policies to reduce the occurrence and impact of firearm-related violence in the United States. No single agency or research strategy can provide all the answers. This report focuses on the public health aspects of firearm violence; the committee expects that this research agenda will be integrated with research conducted from criminal justice and other perspectives to provide a much fuller knowledge base to underpin our nation’s approach to dealing with this very important set of societal issues.
