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? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
