I read it the report and the 10page summary just now and it doesnt neccessarily support the right wing on this issue..the ONLY reason gun advocates like it is because it does support SOME stances of guns providing protection..I agree..guns can help protect..no debate on that...but the report goes on to talk about "fatal and non fatal firearms pose a serious threat to American safety and welfare" and goes on about.."although gun violence has decreased, US related firearms deaths remains the highest in the world"..the report goes on to site more research is needed...but the report is in NO WAY a firm support of gun advocates...if you read the report it simply supports "some" measure of gun use is helpful for protection but it hardly takes a hardcore approach against Obama's executive orders...right now..you just got TONS of gun website sites going..'woo hoo!!"..we won when the report really isnt that stellar cause it rips hard at the gun violence rate in the US being worse than anywhere on the planet. Gun advocates like it because it totally doesnt rip ownership as most thought it would. It doesnt touch the issue of problems law enforcement has to track illegal gun sales. Trust me, gun extremists dont have much to celebrate here..I love my guns but I also love to make sure others who shouldnt own them..dont have the ability to get them. Heck..Illinois just passed a law that REQUIRES people to report in 72hrs if there gun goes missing. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-quinn-signs-gun-bill-20130818,0,6251315.story
