Clinton's tired old gun-control spiel gets no better with age :: 10/03/2016

Are human beings inherently violent?  According to a recent study by researchers of the Estación Experimental de Zonas Áridas (Experimental Station of Arid Zones) and the University of Granada, yes, we are, but to the extent that some other mammal species are.  It turns out that the most violent mammal—the ones that most often kill members of their own species—is the meerkat.  Yes, the adorable town-dwellers of the Kalahari.  Many primates are on the top thirty list, as are members of the order Carnivora, but so is the California ground squirrel.

Thank you, Alan, Julianne and the SAF for asking me to speak to you again this year. As you may know I am a fervent opponent of Gun Free Zones in general, and in hospitals, in particular.
