Testing for the NEW thread.

The TRANSCRIPT of Bill's "V-SOTU" has now been posted...
Here are some POWERFUL FACTS from that transcript:
...Let’s start with the so-called "assault weapons,"
more properly known as semiautomatic rifles.

In 2011, total firearm murders came to 8,583, according to the FBI.

During that time, the total murders committed by rifles
– ALL rifles, not just semi-automatic rifles – were 323.

That’s 3% of all murders.

Hammers and clubs kill half again as many people as rifles.
Hands and feet murder twice as many; and
knives kill five times more Americans than all rifles combined.

Preventable medical errors kill about 98,000 people per year:
medical malpractice kills more than twelve times as many people
as are murdered in the US each year.

That’s more than 300 times the number killed by all rifles,
not just the so-called "assault rifles."

And yet no one talks about limits on
hammers, or knives, or doctors or hospitals.

No one does that because the good
we perceive from hammers and knives and doctors
far outweigh their perceived harm.

And yet, studies show that firearms prevent
anywhere from 800,000 to over two million
violent crimes every year...

...The lowest estimate means that 100 times
more violent crimes were
prevented by firearms than the total murders
committed by firearms.

Line breaks and emphasis (bold, underlining and color) from RonDog.
