Oh, and let us know how many people were shot in "trigger happy" Texas last weekend.

You do realize that the state of Texas has a higher incidence of gun violence than the state of Illinois, right?

If there's no need to cross borders or go to gun shows, why do you think so many Chicago guns come from Indiana?

Lets look at the top ten safest states
Vermont
Maine
Virginia
Wyoming
Kentucky
New Hampshire
Idaho
Utah
Minnesota
Montana

For the most part hardly left wing utopia states, are they.
You have no idea of what you are talking about seeing as Minnesota, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine are on your list. Those states are about as Liberal in philosophy as they come.

Heck, Utah is a liberal paradise when it comes to how to run government.

Montana for the last decade has actually be run by Democrats, not Republicans, same for Kentucky.

Wyoming and Idaho are the only 2 states on this list completely controlled by Conservatives and Republicans.
Did you think before you posted this list ????

Everyone has broken the law at one point. However, that doesn't mean that we should not have speed limits, wouldn't you agree?

If they actually went all the way to making it illegal to own guns (I'm guessing the police and military would still have them), then it would be a LOT harder for criminals to get guns. I don't know how anyone could even argue with that.
