Dead is still dead800lb gorilla in the roomRight now, the weapon of choice is the trusty AR 15It's funny. I just caught an interview with Ted Nugent last night and he pointed out some amazing facts:
Did you know that the AR-15 round is so meager that in 30 states, its isn't allowed to be used for hunting deer because it likely won't kill it? Another thing he pointed out is that research shows that a shotgun with 00 buckshot would be far more effective for killing in these schools, so if the Left is successful in banning AR-15s that these kids start going to other types of weapons, they are only likely to succeed in INCREASING THE MURDER RATE.![]()
Those “tiny rounds” seem to be quite effective in slaughtering school children
Wrong.....the majority of mass shootings are done with pistols...the worst school shooting in the country, Virginia Tech, was done with 2 pistols....murdering 32 people......
And a muslim terrorist in Nice, France, using a rental truck murdered 86 people...
Most of our 30,000 gun deaths are done with pistols
If we really want to impact our gun carnage, we need to restrict access to handguns
WRong.....most of those gun deaths are suicides....and since Japan, Korea, And China have more suicides than the United States, and they have extreme gun control, only cops and criminals can have guns in their countries, guns are not the issue.....

Gun Accidental Death...
Gun accidents....in a country with over 320,000,000 people...... with 400,000,000 guns in private hands, and over 15,700,000 people carrying guns for self defense..... 495 accidental gun deaths....
Gun murder
Of the 11,004 gun murders in this country, 70-80% of the victims are criminals, engaged in criminal activity or part of the criminal life style....and of the remaining victims....many of them are friends and family of the criminal...caught up in the criminal's lifestyle.....
I’ll make a deal with you. As soon as we have 30,000 deaths a year from people jumping in front of trains, I will post that 30,000 die from jumping in front of trains and we need to do something about it
Until that time, there are 30,000 gun deaths a year
