Study finds no link between gun shows and gun deaths

For me, a man bites dog story. But a rebuttal to those who contend that criminals flock to gun shows to get firearms.

Press release and summary

Like flies circling a corpse, each legislator leaves behind a few eggs to hatch.

Maybe it's the only way to get things done in Congress ... but it seems damned inneficient.

In fact, I believe there's earler Nordyke case statements from a former Calif DOJ Firearms agent [admittedly a discreted person due to a variety of other reasons] that the Nordkye shows were well-run and the Nordykes had a good reputation for 'clean shows' - and thus the shows were *helpful* to LE because the shows may have kept gun deals 'papered' and not 'on the street'.

My post above is a total non-sequitor. It was supposed to go with the bank bail-out post.

Not sure how this happened -- sorry about that.

"Study finds no link between gun shows and gun deaths"

No sh**. Who'd a thunk it.
