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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
