I dunno about most gun owners being college educated, but I believe that more than half of the real enthusiasts (also called "gun nuts" by the media) are college educated. They're probably above average income earners and above average intelligence as well. If you think about it these things all go hand in hand: higher intelligence = higher chance of going to college = higher chance of getting good paying job. After all, ours is not a cheap hobby (lifestyle, whatever).
Really? Tell that to John Lawmaster, inhabitants of the Waco debacle, and Randy Weaver and his family
This moron is openly advocating LETTING the goverment become even more unruly through public disarmament. It's so funny when stupid people use stats to back up their opinion but don't understand that they actually support the opposite side of the argument.

In case you have't clued up yet, terrorists in the USofA is the latest boogieman designed to implement strict gun contol .
They failed using gun violence.
They failed using violence.
They failed using personal crime levels.
They failed using the cost of medical care.
So now they are using terrorists, which BTW, was the excuse McCain et al used for pushing the closing of the Gun Show Loophole (WETHTI). Look for McCain Part Deux to come to a legislature near you.

Hey, look on the bright side!

Terrorists haven't been using guns. They've been using bombs.

Ya know, this makes me suspicious. What if the article is written by a terrorist to scare leftists and the sheeple into passing more gun control, thereby weakening our defenses against these very same terrorists? I smell a plot.

very weird
The "think tank" where this guy works also has articles on why the PATRIOT Act is bad, and the erosion of US civil liberties that is blamed/attributed to the "War on Violent Extremism." Seems to be talking out of both sides of their mouths . . .
They also have papers on genetically modified foods, foster care, and substance abuse policy . . . kind of all over the place.
I wonder where they get their funding?

Allow me to suggest that you Americans had best hang onto your Bill or Rights about having f/arms. Here in Canada things started to happen back in the 50s. Remember we only have a Charter of Rights & to own or have any form of a f/arm is a "privilage".
As of a bit over 10 yrs ago all f/arm owners had to take of Cdn Firearm Safety course or challenge it, as some of us did. Then applied for a Possession & Acquisition License (PAL), along with REGISTERING all long bbl guns plus re-registering our h/guns to what they called PROHIBITED guns like Saturday Night Specials being 25 or 32 Cal & bbls from from 150mm or lower. Remember our h/guns have been registered since 1934. It also effected what looked like Assualt Rifles being any semi-auto rifle with pistol grip & such.
It also required all guns be in what the Govt calls 'Safe Storage' which messes up things & ammo must be in another room. Remember since '34 Cdns have only been able to use a h/gun at certified h/gun ranges AND must have a permit to carry the gun(s) in a locked case with trigger locks on them & it also means from home to the range & directly back again. The h/gun cannot be carried for safety when hunting. Nor can it or any f/arm, be used for home, family or self-defense in our home.
Lots of immigrants to immigrants now being automatic Cdn citizen due to birth in Cdn, so along with gangs, drug people & criminals have popped up & created a maze of trouble in Toronto, Ontario, Edmonton, Alberta & Vancouver B.C., using illegally h/guns for no criminal is going to go through all the crap we did so we could be law-abiding tax-paying citizens & target shooters, to trap & such. So the guns have been smuggled in.
Right now we are into the middle of a Federal election & the Prime Minister, running again for his position was in Toronto Ontario came up with this brain wave to BAN HANDGUNS. With the registeration of our long bbl guns to our h/guns they know more about us, & so do those working for the Govt, in our personal history & backgrounds. Fact is more then they do of most political figures in the Fed Govt.
Still this is our problem & already those with "Prohibited" h/guns are being sent letters to turn in their "grandfathered" guns to the police to be destroyed.
Note they know EXACTLY what make, caliber, type, action & bbl length of our guns along with our addresses so it is easy picking to pick on the law abiding target shooters. Not so in the case of the criminals for no one knows who they are or what they have be it a single gun or a maze of them.
Obviously this matter of banned handguns will fail as did the Bill C-68 which drew upon the PAL, registering the guns & such. SO next set of pleasant words will be Ban All Guns though it to will not stop the illegal once from purchasing illegaly smuggled in h/guns or sub-machine guns with latter being illegal for many, many yrs.Think of the UK, Australia & other countires to Germany back in 1933 which tells you what happened & it was WWII.
For your interest to put Bill C-68 into effect the usless Charter of Rights has to be broken 26 or 36 times!!
So keep up you support to save your rights to have not only a f/arms but h/guns.

Let me guess; urban warfare techniques "learned in Iraq" that are "unique" and somehow distinguishable from those employed over the last hundred years all over Europe, South America, Africa, Asia and the entire Middle East. Before during and after two world wars and hundreds of planned, financed and instigated revolutions in between.
This sounds like a primer intended for general mass consumption - since anyone with an historical grasp of the subject matter knows that it is nothing new, not unique to Iraq, and Al Kidya could (and people should ponder why they did not) have launched a concerted campaign the same day or the day after the WTC collapsed. Those "Muslim fanatics" must still be blowing their terror funds in Las Vegas on wine, women and song.
Perhaps the Al Kidya fear machine is wearing off, and it is time to turn up the fear factor on the home front. Got to keep the fire going, or all that legislation and newfound powers will disappear and more can not be demanded.

"Urban Warfare" give me a break the only place where that could happen is in California. In what part of the U.S.A. could Haji Habib and his friends get together in a big enough group to start some trouble stateside, before some decent armed americans got together and decided that only in France do armed thugs roam the streets with impunity.
I can tell you in Florida those bastards wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell.
Now in PRK where there is no real RKBA maybe.
