OK folks. Here is a chart that lays out the cost in human lives of gun control programs in the past.

This is why we have the 2nd Amendmentment


The chart lists the Government responsible, the target(s) of the gun control, the dates involved, the approximate number of civilian casualties, and the "Gun Control" law(s) involved along with the features of the law(s).

The chart is from the book Death by "Gun Control”, The Human Cost of Victim Disarmament, by Aaron Zelman and Richard W. Stevens, Attorney at Law

Here is a compact, downloadable pdf version of the chart:

and here is the link to the chart as displayed in the original text:
Death by "Gun Control"

Wow, that is quite scary.
The anti gun crowd will deny that those things ever happened, or that it all they want is "common sense" restrictions...come on, any rational person would be about that right ?

Definitely food for thought.
But, only for those who actually THINK!

actually what they will argue is that your little pop gun wont stand up to the government and their military, and that this is proof of that. what they are forgetting though with that argument is that these people were unarmed, but that wont matter to them.

Anti guns will say "that won't happen here, we're America, we're different" while ignoring events like wounded knee, the internment of Japanese Americans, slavery and subsequent Jim Crow laws and the trail of tears.

You guys are being too hard on government.

It's very stressful stealing from and exploiting the peasants on a daily basis. Every so often they gotta let loose and murder a few million folks to relieve the stress.

Call it a micro aggression.

Frank understands. Probably learned it in the public school system.

Rather than reading through the attachment maybe you could summarize your point with some details?


While your at it explain to me why on average 1 gun for every US resident works towards reducing violence.
