Gun violence will continue to escalate until we learn a better way to permanently disable violent criminals who threaten us.
Your statement reminds me of a martial art, invented by the Israelis; I’ve forgotten the name, but it focus on disabling your attacker by things like joint breaking, eye-gouging, and ripping ears off.
Does that qualify for your definition of ‘permanently disabling’?
The smoking gun causes cancer. Ban it! Do it for the children! @@
I'd rather feed the hogs.
Communism and Socialism have killed 100,000,000 in less than 100 years, why does it still exist?
correct, cars kill more people each year than guns... ~42,000 died* in 2007 and ~2.5Million people were injured*.
Lets ban all cars, they are a public health concern.

“Gun violence is a leading cause of death and injury in America, and it is steadily increasing.”
When an argument starts with a lie, well.... Gun deaths aren’t on the rise, but a big proportion of the gun deaths are the result of illegal immigrants bringing their gang culture to the US. Furthermore, this statistic also includes deaths from legal self defense.
No, meaning, I think, that the article was posted as evidence of 0bama’s long-standing record of gun-grabbing. And yes, the AWB, and much more onerous legislation will be back with a ‘Rat victory this fall.
The stakes are high, indeed...
If you really want to be safe, stop eating and breathing.
Yup. All the breathless reports about war and the economy will vanish if Obama wins, to be replaced with endless media stories about gun violence. And the MSM death spiral will stop, as the federal government will begin “subsidizing” the news.
How am I going to believe a website that mistakes i for e, when they’re four keys apart?
