So your guns keep you safe?

Great news gun control enthusiasts! Chicago marks their 500th homicide in 2012. ~90% of which are done with guns. (that's about twice as many people that have been killed in action in Afganistan this year if your counting). Coincidentally, Chicago also has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. Chock another one up for the success of oppressive anti-gun policies.

On an unrelated note, an interesting survey of felons in prison back in the 80's showed that ~40% had at one point decided not to commit a crime because they believed the victim might be armed and almost 70% said that they had or knew of someone that was scared off before completing a crime due to the victim having a gun.

Huh, so he didn't use an assault rifle after all. He used hand guns. The AR was left in his car. He had tried to buy another rifle and was denied. More lies initially from the liberal media.

This is still going? My god, what munitions (pun intended) do these anti-gun people have left? When are they going to link the video of all those celebrities coming together to tell the American public how to think?

According to the 2010 FBI crime data, since 1980, single victim killings have dropped by more than 40 percent. While that's very good news, there's a new sobering trend: Mass murders are on the rise. This New York Times article researched the frequency of mass murders. It found during the 20th century there were about one to two mass murders per decade until 1980. Then for no apparent reason they spiked, with nine during the 1980s and 11 in the 1990s. Since the year 2000 there have been at least 27, including the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.

It's not the guns, it's what type of guns they are.

There are no reasons to have assault weapons in civilian hands. None. They will be taken. Reason will prevail this time.

You realize that weapons such as the AR-15 have been around since the late 50's early 60's right? which makes what you're saying pretty damn wrong
