Yet another gun control advocate caught in a lie, this time on camera
More pious fraud, via YouTube:
For those that can't view the video, here's the description:
During testimony in front of the Texas Senate State Affairs Committee on Feb 12, 2015, Kelly Burke -- president of the Texas chapter of anti-civil rights group Moms Demand Action -- claimed that Texas CHL crime stats are "completely locked down" and not available to the public. That is a bold-faced lie, as the stats are available from the Texas DPS website:
https://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/chl/reports/convrates.htm
She then proceeded to label claims that CHL holders are responsible and law-abiding as "anecdotal and conjecture". That is another lie, as the publicly available DPS stats show that Texas CHL holders are even less likely to commit crimes than Texas peace officers (let alone the general population).
From the very website that puts the lie to Burke's words:

Conviction Rates
The following reports represent the number of Concealed Handgun License (CHL) holders with convictions versus the entire Texas population with convictions. The criminal history conviction data is not considered “final” until a year after the conviction. Each report is generated for the current year minus two years (for example, the 2006 Conviction Rates Report was run in mid-2008 to allow for “final” conviction status on the 2006 Criminal History records). Each report contains descriptive text regarding the data content
It must be said in Burke's defense that she's no less honest than MDA's head and chief financier...
