apples are used so lets ban oranges... typical RAT logicU.S. Murders: All 13,636; Hands and Feet 801; Assault Rifles: less than 348
The FBI murder statistics do not differentiate between types of rifles. There are about 100 million rifles in the United States. In 2009, the last year in which numbers have been reported, there were 13,636 murders. Guns were used to murder 9,146 people. Hands and feet were used to murder 801 people. Blunt objects were used to murder 611 people. Rifles were used to murder 348 people, and that is all rifles, of which assault rifles are only a small fraction. Assault rifles are used so infrequently in homicides that many police departments almost never see them; in 2009, there were nine states that did not have a single murder committed with any rifle.
So why is the left so intent on banning rifles that are the most suitable for militia use (clearly protected by the U.S. Constitution), when they are used so rarely in murder?
I’ll bet this just tickles the hell out of CNN’s Halimah Abdullah.
the left projects the actionof a criminal nut onto the hundred millon law abiding gun owners in this country and equates all of them with the nutball who couldn’t even pass a background check to get a gun himself.
We are only one SUPRIME away from the distruction of the Second Amendment.

Mom drowns a bunch of her kids, must ban all moms from being alone with their kids, if we let them have kids at all.
Old people who get confused driving and run down a crowd or get on the highway, the wrong way, where’s the over-reach to paint all drivers like this and surrender their cars for everyone’s safety?
Alcoholics drivers, same thing, where’s the crowd painting all safe drivers as drunk killing machines that must be dis-carred?
All the pool deaths each year by kids? Where’s the liberal push to ban all safe homeowners with pools, to force them empty or fill-in their pools so/all the rest of us can be safe from them?
hypocritical idiots.
He must strike while the iron is hot.
Something else for the states to refuse to obey.
Elections have consequences, if the left bans guns, promotes communist fiscal policy and defunds the DOD well that is exactly what the people who voted for Obama voted for, I for one am tired of defending my positions which alwyas get put on trial by the left, let them destroy it all and when the people cry out over it, I will just scream out I told you so.
Just as an aside, my husband went to Gander Mtn and Cabellas today. He said it was packed and he did not think it was Christmas shopping. People are upset but are not necessarily reacting the way the libs want them to.
Texas will not go quietly into that dark night, and neither will many other red states.
The deep political left is mere inches away from pushing a button that will ignite the Second American Revolution, and which will result in a full restoration of this country’s Founding Charter.
Someone ought to tell them that they’re wearing a suicide bomb vest.
Obama and the left will try to convince Americans that they are only talking about banning AK-47’s or M-16’s when in fact their definition of assault weapons will be so broad that it will include most if not all guns with the exception of revolvers.
CT has an assault weapons ban.
How about we throw Obama inato a volcano and try to apease the gods? I know. It won't work, but at least we'd be doing something constructive.
Only a fool like a liberal or a democrat would believe that that will prevent the insane, or the criminals among us from classroom violence, domestic violence, or mass murder with a gun or a car.
Everything this side of a BUTTER KNIFE will be considered an “assault weapon”, by the time these clowns are done.
Did anyone notice that we were never told which weapon were responsible for most deaths in the Aurora shooting?
Unofficial reports indicate the shotgun did the most damage, after the rifle jammed early.
