Thousands of Americans have had their lives stolen from them in the last 100 days?

I wasn't paying close attention, but that's what it sounded like.

He's completely Un-Hinged.! He got off the teleprompter, looks and sounded very desperate. Started to get angry.

That's good news, means he's losing.!

All major news orgs just had him on trying to push background checks bill for a vote in the senate. I saw it on Fox. He had a bunch of sheeple with him who had been shot in the past or had relatives shot.

I believe they died at the hands of violent people. The guns are inanimate objects.

I'm not sure what he said.

It's been 100 days since the Sandy Hook tragedy and places like the Huff-post has been hyping gun deaths ever since.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/22/gun-deaths-us-newtown_n_2935686.html

Quote
In the first week after the Newtown, Conn., massacre on Dec. 14, more than 100 people in the U.S. were killed by guns. In the first seven weeks, that number had risen to at least 1,285 gunshot killings and accidental deaths. A little more than three months after Newtown, there have been 2,244. The Huffington Post has recorded every gun-involved murder and accidental shooting death reported in U.S. news media since Newtown, revealing an epidemic that shows no signs of abating.


Personally I would like to know how many people have died in vehicle accidents in the last three months just for comparison.

In a Rod Serling world, folks like �bama and Bloomberg would find themselves on an island with a gun, and cannibals kayaking up the lagoon with a cookbook and a grin.

Exactly. Guns, knives, cars, SUVs, wooden clubs: all just things.

About 30,000 people in the US die every year from gettin they azz shot , that # includes justifiable homicide.

There are about 75,000 alcohol related fatalities in the US each year or about 2 1/2 times the number of gun fatalities.

Just a few weeks ago in this county a drunk woman got in a wreck in which her 5 year old daughter was killed. That incident was barely a blip in the LOCAL news. If she had killed her daughter with a gun it would have been NATIONAL news.

Of that 30,000 that die, about 2/3rds is suicides.

So 10,000 that include murders, police shootings, justifiable homicides, etc.

Love it!


A government, to afford the needful protection and exercise proper care for the welfare of a people, must have homogeneity in its constituents.
