1. Sales of the AR-15 rocketed following the Sandy Hook killings.
2. Brownells sold more high capacity bullet magazines in 3 days than it had in 3.5 years.
3. Cinema shooting in Aurora,Colarado resulted in a 41% increase in gun sales the following month.
4. Population of the US = 311 million estimated guns in circulation 300 million.
5. Between 4 and 7 million guns manufatured in USA/annum
6. 100,000 Americans shot yearly with a gun, 31,000 fatally.
7. 11,000 murders, 18,000 suicides.
8. Since 1968 over 1 million americans have been killed with gun
9. The US firearm murder rate is 19.5% higher than the next 22 most high income populous countries , when combined the 23 countries show 80% of these murders are in the USA.
10. 6 of the 12 US worst mass murders have occured since 2007.
11. You cant legally buy in a Supermarket more than 6 packets of Sudafed tablets or a Chocolate Kinder egg or some french cheeses etc but! you can go to Walmarts and buy an AR-57 plus 100 bullet magazines. the weapon that has been used in the last 4 mass killings.

Since gun massacres in Uk,Japan and Autrailia gun laws have been tightened up and the results have shown a huge decrease in gun crime..

Point to ponder: If everyone in the cinema had been armed and began shooting in the half light.Hmm

Please feel free to dispute these facts as given, I am only the conveyer. :oops:

No dispute.
Addendum:
3,322 unborn babies killed DAILY in U.S. by abortion.*
Maybe Pro-Choice IS Pro-Abortion.

*2010 Statistic.

Also, according to statistic's, 85% of abortions are performed because it's inconvenient to have a baby.

Tens of thousands of unborn girls in the U.S. have been eliminated for no other reason than they are considered by some to be the wrong sex.

I have been a competition pistol & skeet shooter for 45 years. Tough gun laws will not stop the baddies from buying guns-just make the black market even bigger.

Don't believe me--visit any pub on a Saturday night. If you have a pocket full of cash & do a bit of sniffing around, you will eventually buy a 'piece'.

A closer study of "mass murders" (generally, murders where 4 or more fatalities are involved) will likely reveal mental illness plays a major role. IMHO mental illness is an issue that needs attention anyway. Children (that survive abortion) are consistently being stuffed full of psychotropic drugs that do nothing to properly address the mental deficiency they are suffering from. Then, when they grow up and go on a shooting rampage, they can add to the statistics the OP quotes above.

By your logic Automobiles are responsible for deaths, not drivers.
Your logic would place the blame for pool drownings at the foot of the pool makers.

My suggestion would be to hold people accountable for their actions.

Tim McVeigh used a rented truck, 161 dead, was Avis the killer?

If someone is bent on killing, making guns illegal won't stop one death.

Only fact you omited is a CRIMINAL PULLED THE TRIGGER on every one of these ocassions. That and EVERY shooting at a school occured in a GUN FREE ZONE.
CHICAGO, the pinicle of democrat leadership just celebrated their 500th murder this year.

Look at the stats you neglect. Cities and states with the mmost stingent gun laws have the highest murder rates, highest violent crime rates. States with the highest percapita gun ownership have the lowest.
I am all for disarming the murdering scumbags, when you find out how to do that, fill me in.
Thanks a bunch.
Happy New Year.

Typical gun nut nonsense. Don't offer any ideas or solutions, just knock what others are suggesting.

Most inconvenient for the human heartbeat silenced.
Im guessing the babies might have a different opinion. How many bright shining stars have been extinguished for the convenience of the mother. Scary to think.
