“Before I started researching gun deaths, gun-control policy used to frustrate me. I wished the National Rifle Association would stop blocking common-sense reforms such as banning assault weapons, restricting silencers, shrinking magazine sizes and all the other measures that could make guns less deadly.”

Quick, rush her to the hospital, there’s something seriously wrong with her!
I usually give liberals a pass on this particular issue.
I believe it to be human nature to want to be “in control”.
No one likes to be something like Vegas can just happen and nothing can be done to prevent it. The thought terrifies most people, and can cripple them with fear and a overwhelming need to “do something” do anything” to prevent such an innocent from happening again.
But the sad truth is... NOTHING will EVER prevent someone from killing LOTS of people at random if they are willing to die in the process.
That’s just a fact. And no law will ever change that.
Nearly ANYTHING can be a deadly weapon.
Heck.. I could drop a wheelbarrow of bricks off a building overlooking a large parade or densely packed demonstration and kill many people. With a little planning and an average intelligence ... I could dump several barrows at once off multiple buildings.
Just a point out of curiosity, but from the last ten-thousand shootings in Chicago, is there any statistical data existing to say any of the ten-thousand was shot by a guy using a silencer? I know James Bond always shoots thugs with a silencer on, but in the real world....does anyone ever shoot folks with silencer?
