Let's get the facts on gun deaths....
The White House and Hillary Clinton are constantly saying that there are 30,000 gun deaths each year in this Country. Here are the true facts:
There are actually approx. 32,000 gun deaths a year. 60% are suicides. That's 19,200 (The CDC says the figure is 21,175.) 3% are accidental. That's 960 4% are justified. That's 1,280 33% are homicides. That's 10,560 80% of homocides are gang related. That's 8,448 That leaves 1712 people in a Country of 324 million. That leaves a chance of 0.0000052839506% chance of death by a gun. And the figures continue to drop each year. America DOES NOT have a gun problem. |

America has a Liberal problem. No Liberal should ever be placed in a position of power over others. Only an educated electorate can prevent that. There's the dilemma... |

Sources?
If the facts are true, I want to be able to quote them as well as provide a source that is accurate. In other words, political sites tend to embellish numbers. |

Less than 250 people are killed each year by"rifles" All rifles.
Why is this an issue? |

It will ALWAYS be an issue with the Left. Even ONE person killed with a rifle could have been prevented only by the Left and only by restricting liberty and private property. Only THEY can protect us from consequences of free will.

Firearm suicides Number of deaths: 21,175 FastStats - Suicide and Self-Inflicted Injury As I did, you'll just have to Google each category of death I listed to verify my figures. It wasn't easy to get to this information, but it is all verified by Government agencies. DAB posted a link to one of the most prominent ones. |

I honestly don't think the facts matter any more. From what I can see, we're headed towards Assault Weapons Ban, Part II. No one wants to hear it, not even the Republican politicians. I sent out a shitload of emails to my elected officials today and all I got were the "thanks, but we don't care" replies. I hate to say this, but Orlando may have just gotten Hillary elected.
I'll go ahead and say it.. Trump has gone off the reservation a bit, and the more he talks, the more he puts his foot in his mouth. He needed to shut the F up months ago. He's no longer helping our cause. Not that I'm voting for Hillary, but Trump isn't anyone I'd normally vote for either. |
