Did you know that 2/3 of gun related deaths in the US are suicide?
How can we stop that?
yep- the 30k+ deaths the antigunners quote includes suicides. remember that each time you hear chuck and hillary quoting numbers - because they always include them.
im trying to be sensitive to the fact that people are angry, confused, bewildered or scared - everyone is outraged over what just happened in LV. but we lose about that many each month JUST in chicago. why doesnt that have enough shock value to grip the nation?
gang violence and homicides committed during felonys make up the majority of violence with handguns being the most common weapon - want to guess how often ar15s or other evil black rifles are used?
we are falling way short on convictions, deportations, and gang prevention and instead want to focus on our efforts on assault weapons bans? wth?
one thing the antigunners, or internet smartassess who want to joke about "clinging to your guns and bibles" - dont want to admit is that the last awb did nothing to decrease crime, and crime rates did not increase after its repeal. but instead of focusing on handguns, criminals/gangs - they want to spend their effort and rabble rabble energy on ar15s - which is basically considered a varmint rifle.
i get that everyone is outraged - but guess what - gun owners are too!!! we hate hate HATE the loss of life and the inevitable political posturing and social media uproar over gun rights. but damn - why arent people taking meaningful action on the issues that account for 80+ percent of all violence? when i go out with my family - the last thing on my mind is getting taken out by an ar15 - the odds are much greater ill be killed in an mva or by a criminal with a stolen handgun that he paid 25 bucks for, when he shouldnt have been out on the streets in the first place. where are the priorities?
if the nation cares so much about saving lives then why arent we doing more to reduce violence from handguns and gang activity? we have a president who is in full support of taking on ms13 etc - but because its trump it becomes a race issue?
but those evil black rifles are just sooooooo scary. and now the left has learned about bumpstocks - so they will focus on that instead of the real killers....smart.....
meanwhile people still getting shotup in chicago.
