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 |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
