Mrs. Clinton’s latest TV commercial starts with her saying, “This epidemic of gun violence knows no boundaries.†A clever phrase, and a key part of the Great Gun Control Con, “epidemic of gun violence†proclaims a rapid increase in “gun violence†(as though someone robbed, raped or murdered is any less violated if some other tool is used). Never does one see a reporter jump up to challenge this basic premise. In fact, the rate of crimes with guns has declined. Not by 5 or 10 percent, but by nearly half in only 20 years. That should be cause for banner headlines. Millions more guns, millions more gun owners, but crimes committed with guns, and murders overall, are down by nearly half in only 20 years. The “epidemic of gun violence†is a myth created by those who would con the public into believing that “something must be done.†Pew Research documents that even though crime with guns has been cut in half, a majority of the public thinks that crime with guns is increasing. The con is working.
CNN’s Sanjay Gupta jumped onto the “epidemic of gun violence†to call for a renewal of “research†to treat firearms as a virus. Congress withdrew from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) the amount of funding it was using to promote gun control through these directed research grants, finding it inappropriate at best for this health organization to use taxpayer dollars to stack the deck with junk science. At the time, the CDC director said the goal was to treat guns like cigarettes, and to ban them.

I think her wheels are still spinning.
There are totally obvious and clear boundaries.
Get rid of the 3% - eliminate them - and 75% of violent crime and murders go down right there.
They know the facts. They know that they can't have their genocide until U.S. citizens are disarmed.
There are only two types of gun-control proponents: the ones planning genocides, and their useful idiot dupes (brainwashed "liberals").
2015, with the influx and release of the violent, virulent anti-American illegals now roaming freely, in most states anyway, we no longer need discuss anything remotely related to common sense anything, let alone common sense gun regulations or laws. 0bama will do something to bring the US under the sway of the anti-gun TPP, which includes approval of slavery, by the way.
He will fail. Lawlessness on his and Congress’ parts means all bets are off.
I know full well what the Second amendment means. Our For Fathers new exactly what it meant. It did not have a damn thing to do with hunting. The Second Amendment was to give the nation the right to resist and confront a tyrannical central government.
They were right and I shall respect their wisdom.
I didn’t intend to say that you don’t.
