I have seen figures on this showing that there was a large number of people in a survey who defended themselves or their property with a gun. I don't believe the stats. a popular chemical in used by weight trainers accidentaly kills two people (what ever that stuff is in turkeys), it is banned. Bath salts causes a death or two - it is banned. Hell, LAWN DARTS caused some injury - they are banned. the majority of these incidents involve the death of the person using the chemical or item killing himself, and they are banned. But guns? somebody takes a gun out and kills 27 people and the gun community claims it isn't the "gun's fault". No it isn't but they are diverting attention to the real issue. Folks like to kill folks in the U.S. And when folks like to kill folks, they can kill more folks, plenty more folks, when they use a gun to do it.
Now comes the real hard news. These deaths are the cost of doing business in America. Everyone wants to dance around it or ignore it but the fact is that our freedom is partial born by those kids who died today. Our freedom has collateral damage and that damage is often children - and the best thing we can do is come out and say so. Those children died for our right to bear arms.
Say it with me. Those childrend died for our right to bear arms.
And then go on about your business because it will never and can never change.
