Most people die of natural causes and cancer, those are things that are harder to impossible to prevent, death by firearm is completely preventable, that is the difference.

9 times more kids and 18 times more people total are killed in the USA by medical malpractice, than by death from a bullet.

Totally preventable.

When was the last time you heard of a Redneck, going postal and killing a lot of people with a gun?

Yes, and I also support making it harder for one to get their medical license and for stiff malpractice lawsuits. Do you think we can only have one issue that we deal with for things that are preventable? We live in a big complex country, I think we are able to deal with more than one issue at a time, don't you think.

Well it is hard to google redneck and shooting spree because "redneck" isn't the typical word that is used, but here is one in Alabama and there are plenty of rednecks in that state.

Here's a redneck with a homemade tank.
LiveLeak.com - Redneck goes on a rampage with his homemade tank

Here's one in Texas where they love their guns.
BBC News - 'Five dead' at Texas skating rink party shooting

Here is a mass murder from Texas where the guy crashed his pickup truck into a cafeteria before shooting it up, and what do Rednecks like to drive most?

This guy shot up a McDonalds targeting Mexican-Americans.
San Ysidro McDonald's massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Another one from Southern Alabama
Geneva County massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



What's your next silly question, this one was really interesting to look into.

Well, why isn't plastered all over the media?

Seems more productive, than stepping on everyone's Constitutional rights, without an Amendment.

Well when a mass malpractice happens, that tends to make it onto the media....though I could answer this question even more simple for you, the media cares about rating and only ratings because the higher their rating, the higher they can charge for ad space and the more money they make.

Also, banning all guns would be stepping on your Constitutional rights, defining what "right to bear arms" means and the translating the full definition of arms does not step on your rights, it is our duty as a society to figure out what is right and wrong for our modern world.

LOL!


None were Conservative Rednecks. They were all liberal whack jobs, that had a list of therapists.
Are you that ignorant to think everyone in Texas is a Redneck?

Restricting me to have less firepower than the federal centralized government, is an infringement of my 2nd amendment right, to defend the free from control & tyranny of the King.

And you know this as a fact or is this something you are just making up because a conservative redneck could never commit a crime?
