| As anyone with a basic knowledge of statistics can tell you, correlation does not equal causation. What that study from Everytown, a well known gun control advocacy group, did not mention was any mass shooting that tighter background checks would have prevented because there aren't any. |

"A new study by gun-control advocacy organization Everytown shows that states that require background checks prior to handgun purchases experience significantly fewer mass shootings than other states."
So how many of the mass-shootings happened in places where possession of guns by the GOBLINS as well as their VICTIMS was totally prohibited? |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
