Thanks to GeorgiaCarry.Org member Barre Bollinger for these numbers.
Brady Center Tells Us Gun Control Is … Dangerous?
June 19th, 2008 · 6 Comments
GeorgiaCarry.Org Member Barre Bollinger was intrigued by the Brady Center’s state ratings. A score of 100 is their highest possible score.
Here is what Barre had to say. “I ran some numbers today on a sample of the 1st ten safest states vs. their Brady Score. Brady scores are from their own site. Violent crime stats came from a U.S. Census Bureau 2004 report, and include number of murders, forcible rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults per 100,000 population.”

But that’s unpossible, you say? It would seem that while the Brady Bunch consider a state safe if it has severe gun restrictions, crime is actually more rampant in those same states with severe gun restrictions making them, in reality, less safe. I guess it depends on what you consider the word “safe” to mean: (1) frequent crime against the law-abiding civilians that are afforded no gun ownership, or (2) infrequent crime against the law-abiding civilians that are afforded gun ownership.
But how is it that these criminals can even commit a crime with a gun since the states have made it illegal to have a gun? Can these vile criminals not read and understand their state’s laws? Do they not realize that by using a gun during a crime they’re committing a crime?
Note that not even one of the ten safest states has a Brady score over 12 out of 100, with the scores ranging down as low as a 2!
Please keep this chart to use whenever the Brady ratings come back up, especially in the liberal media. Brady’s top state is California, but California (552 per 100,000) ranks number 41 by Barre’s safety measure, which ranks states based on the frequency of violent crime (with a lower frequency resulting in a higher rating).
