Why are you so certain its the NRA blocking data? Show me ONE study that shows gun control curbs crime. Everything Ive posted, that youve somehow managed to ignore, is what the NRA WANTS out. Every TIME laws remove restrictions on the people to be armed, Crime Drops.
Louisiana & Florida, prime examples. Go LOOK. Here, Ill do it For you.,,

florida tourists targeted crime gun laws relaxed crime dropped
TRY, just hunt, use words to look for things that would demonstrate More Guns = Less Crime
Unless youd Rather live in a world where YOure lied to by those who have an Agenda to control your life. The NRA doesnt tax you, or tell you How youll live. Thats who the NRA is Supposedly standing against. I dont trust them, I am not a memnber, Id join Gun Owners of America myself.,
The NRA wants data out. The only ones who Dont want info out are the controllers, the Goobs.
The same ones who Will Not allow a good study done that would prove the links between autism & vaccines.
Florida crime rates dropping

Interesting data released today. Florida is, of course, the inventor of liberalized handgun concealed carry permits, of "castle doctrine" laws that allow lethal force in self defense without having to retreat, and a few other such measures.
Naturally, the Brady Campaign used Florida as their poster child for a gun-crazy state. Brady began an advertising campaign to warn tourists against entering this dangerous state. "The �Shoot First� law is a new law in Florida that police, prosecuting attorneys and gun violence prevention advocates worry may lead to the reckless use of guns on the streets of Florida cities." Sarah Brady intoned, ""The net effect of the new 'Shoot First' law in Florida is, unfortunately, precisely what we feared. People are dying who did not deserve to die." Just for good measure, Brady added "Gun violence in Florida could increase in 2005 because Congress failed to renew the federal assault weapon ban, which expired last fall, and Florida has no state law restricting assault weapons or rapid-fire ammunition magazines. Florida also does not require background checks at gun shows, does not require child-safety locks to be sold with guns, does not have any handgun safety standards to limit Saturday night specials and even forces police to let people carry hidden handguns in public."
Well, the Palm Beach Post reports that Florida's crime rates have fallen to the lowest level since 1971. "A telephone message left for comment after hours with the The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence in Washington, D.C. was not immediately returned."
You can get the report, in pdf format, here. It shows that, even though the state's population is growing, total homicides fell by 6.9%, and firearm homicides by 6.1%. Given the population increase, the decrease in rates would have been greater.
