What you need to know before the fight begins is that the gun control lobby has no intention of fighting a good fight based on truth and accuracy. They intend to use disinformation, inaccuracy and lies to mislead you.

And then follows an article full of disinformation, inaccuracy and lies. I'll just comment on the new stuff.

Remember Morton Grove? That was the suburban community in Illinois where liberal anti-gunners wrested control of local government and passed a local ordinance that prohibited anyone but a peace officer from owning a handgun.

What the liberals haven't told you is that Morton Grove had more homicides after banning guns that it did when it was legal to have a gun in the home. In Morton Grove, the crime rate rose 15.7 percent in 1988 compared to just 3 percent for the rest of suburban Cook County.

Cute. Your article "forgets" to mention that the Morton Grove ordinance was passed in 1981. Don't you think looking at what happened to crime rates immediately after the ordinance was passed is a teeny bit more relevant? Of course, they went down, so you have to go all the way to 88 to find a year when they went up.

As a matter of fact, when criminals are surveyed they tell us that they are more concerned about meeting an armed victim that they are about running into the police. [Point to Mr Lambert. However according to your own statistics, 34 percent of crims "regularly worry about" getting caught. ASSUMPTION: this means caught "by the police." According to this paragraph, though, the crims are more worried about running into an armed victim. Q.E.D. they're most worried about running into an armed victim. Match to Mr. Diederich.]

Sorry, the paragraph is false as I pointed out in my previous posting. The actual survey result was that criminals think OTHER CRIMINALS are more concerned about meeting an armed victim. When asked what they, personally worry about, they give a different answer.
