The recent mass shooting in Oregon has brought the seemingly endless debate on gun control back into the national spotlight.

Gun Control works.

As long as you have a gun and the other guy doesn’t.

(title):" Is There a Gun Violence Epidemic? The Numbers Say No "

If you listened to the DimoRats debate (debacle), you would think there was a problem ; all candidates wanted 'gun control'.
Gun Control issue was the only thing that got all of them heated, each trying to overshout the other , and then they were saved by a mandatory commercial break. Geesh !
Facists all !

Apparently none of them consulted Algore on his run for the WH.

This is a good thing!

The DoJ may not indict but if the FBI concludes with a recommendation to prosecute I don’t see that helping her candidacy much.

The Obama administration wants there to be an epidimic desperately. If he had his way, every white man in the U.S. would have their guns stripped. I have no doubt of this. We know why as he imports both soldier and economic terrorists into our midst to wreak havok.

So far, the truth has never been a factor for gun control enthusiasts. They use facts with untruths(lies to me and you) to show proof for their cause.

Guns don’t cause “gun violence”, just as sex doesn’t cause rape.

*Evil* people abuse freedom. We must be free to defend against them and defeat them.

*Evil* people want to destroy freedom, since it will facilitate their tyranny.

Rebellion.

Too bad the innocent people of Paris didn’t have a gun. They could have stopped the killers way earlier!

Thats what Commies do ! - create , and then share the depression ,
Its what you do when you run out of everybody else's money,
and drive the entepreneurs and bussinesses out of the country
Sorta like what OBungler is doing now.
Thats how we become a 'service economy ', rather than a manufactureing powerhouse - they got chased out !
