WHEN did they change the calendar with no announcement?
355 to DATE THIS YEAR. 365 days haven't passed yet genius. There are more than 10 days left in the year. To be more specific, there would have had to have been more than one in a day a few times to get to that number already. Not more than one every day.

Sure you can - gun show




5 pages now and no constructive suggestions to dealing with either everyday gun violence or mass shootings.


How about suggestions - more police ? Better training ? Mental health facilities ? Expensive ammunition (Chris Rock suggested this) ?

False stats. Of coarse the sheep eat it up. Liberals want to throw that number out there to push their agenda.

For instance, I read the WP article, they refer to a "mass shooting" in Boston on Thanksgiving morning where a man was shot outside a bar. I live just outside the city and hadn't heard of this till the article. So now liberals want it to be called a mass shooting every time a gun goes off.

1. People who don't think that what's mine is theirs for the taking,
2. People who don't try to force their ideology on me through violence,
3. Get rid of Obama, he's the best thing that ever happened for violent people,
4. Shut down liberalism.

^^ that would be a good start. Of course people who are in reality understand that we'll never do away with violence. no matter what but trying to fits in with #4, shut down liberalism (fantasy world)

Oddly enough religious inspired terrorism isn't considered the biggest threat by law enforcement but let's not let that keep some from jumping to confusion, eh?

That's actually a strawman argument.

What liberals want are reasonable measures to keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them. I don't see what is wrong with reasonable background checks.

The NRA has even gotten laws passed that prevent the FBI from collecting certain statistics about gun crimes. What could the NRA possibly fear about looking at the numbers?

Thats complete propaganda, a pure example of anti american and anti patriot sentiment.

We have a right to form militias to defend ourselves from traitorous governments.

Let the investigation go on, is it work place violence or is it terrorism. And state the facts instead of spinning it for political purposes.
GUNS are not the issue, criminals, street thugs and terrorists are

Just stating facts here.

Straight from wikipidia regarding homicide - "The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites"

"blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%"

Hispanics are lumped in with whites.
1. Blacks are overwhelmingly concentrated in urban areas compared to Whites.
2. ANY country that you look out, you're going to find higher crime rates where there are higher concentrations of people.
3. The difference between Black and White crime rates are much closer when you control for urban vs non-urban areas.

And you just proved my point about race.
I'm glad you agree that the Chicago gun laws are not increasing gun violence in the city.

What point about race did I prove for you...

Not just the FBI. The CDC too.
