"He wouldn't have done such a horrid thing if he didn't have access to a gun!!!"
Also slit throat(s)..... "but, but guns cause violence!!!"
This is the most obnoxious and ignorant part of the "facts" screamed about gun control. Always talking up how much murder and death is caused by a firearm.
Murder, suicide, etc. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to find they add perpetrators killed by a firearm by an intended victim in self defense to their "statistics"....
"Oh! We have so many more gun crimes than every other "western country" for some reason leaving out everywhere else....
No shit sherlock. Yes, we have more guns per capita that all those "civilized" countries being touted.... Therefore, yes more deaths happen with guns involved
Yet crime is at an all time low. Even including all these mass killings and shooting sprees that we see talked about constantly, even before facts are known to the point of just ignoring it.
Firearm/firearm related deaths in general (much less actual murder) isnt even 50% (hell, 30%?) Of the totality of deaths in this nation.
Even if you only count people who didnt intend to be dead at someone else's hand.
Compared to the skew of ms media, which counts EVERY instance of a firearm used to kill....
It's still a minor blip on the statistical radar. Compared to the totality of humans killing other humans
Hmmm. I'm just starting into a rant, yet this is already a tome
I digress
