It claims the lives of approximately 30,000 Americans each year. It plagues people at home, at work, at places of worship, and at play. It creates lifelong disabilities. It leaves families and communities scarred. It causes health care costs to rise dramatically. It is gun violence, and its ills resemble a public health crisis. In the past, the federal government has rallied resources to fight public health crises. The spread of HIV/AIDS, tobacco-related deaths and motor vehicle fatalities were all met with coordinated government intervention. |

| Reason, not emotionally spun science, should guide us. As if outlawing guns would slow the murders in Chicago. |

"As if outlawing guns would slow the murders in Chicago." ~~ Sosalty.
Hey, Sosalty, aren't guns ALREADY illegal in Chicago?
And yet the libtards whine that the Chicagoans get their guns from nearby localities .... which causes me to wonder why, if guns cause violence, then why aren't those nearby locations as violent or even more so than Chicago.
But hey, I stopped expecting logic from libtards a long time ago.
And don't tell me the libtards REALLY want to approach the violence problem ..... "scientifically.
THERE'S a JOKE! |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
