Need help building a fact checking repository

[UncleSamsMisguidedChild]

As the title says, I'm building a repository for the truth about all of the "Common Sense" and "Facts" touted by gun control advocates. Currently I have crime statistics for California from the ATF, and a violent crime comparison between Chicago and Houston of unknown source. I have also detailed the report used by Obama to claim his 40% of guns are bought without a background check with a link to the full report including questions asked.

I'm searching for more information and will make the document available via a link on this site for reference by members later. Please send me any information you have to rebut, or prove false the nonsense being slung out by the anti-gun crowd, preferably with a verifiable source to follow.

Thanks guys, I'll keep you posted as it progresses. Currently I'm searching for the 90% of gun owners support universal background checks actual facts.

I don't have any refuted information for you, but here's the FBI's Uniform Crime Report web site: FBI UCR

Yes I dug through it and it won't specify gun crime over any other. But thank you!

Let me see if I can dig up the links to the documents I've copied over the years. I didn't note where they were on the webz so I'll have to do some searching to see if I can even find the links any more.

Have you checked out this site? Gun Facts - Gun Control | Facts | Debunk | Myths

It's a great source of info, and they too refute claims albeit more common one (e.g. not yesterday's news reporting).

Cheers! M2

Thank you! That will be extremely helpful.

Anyone remember the name of that little community - I want to say in Tennessee or Kentucky - right after WWII where a group of armed veterans basically took over their county seat to prevent the local government from rigging elections? I read about it a couple of times in the past couple of months, but now I can't find it.

Never mind, I found it.
