Last I heard, the SCOTUS (that's part of the government you know) has consistently upheld the Second Amendment. What facts do you have that say differently? Or are do you have a vested interest in increased gun sales?
I agree that the number of deaths is staggering. I disagree that stricter gun laws is the answer.
One place we can start is by breaking down the big pictures shown in that article. Graph number three shows "mass shootings" across the country. Let's take a look at that one, and talk about what a mass shooting is. We have tragedies like Las Vegas, the Orlando nightclub and Sandy Hook. It's disingenuous to imply that the graph represents this level of depravity, though. When you categorize mass shooting as having four people shot at a single time - shot, not necessarily killed - that number is going to include mostly gang-related shootings, robberies, and sometimes domestic violence cases.

Hey, that gives me an idea. We can pass laws against heroine and nobody can get addicted it it and ruin their lives or die.
Laws prevent little/nothing of anything. Would you have us eliminate them because of that or does it make sense to have laws punishing what we define as crimes?

Sorry, I'm talking about the people that really run the country not the puppet officials that we elect every 2-4 years. If people want to believe everything that the government and media tell us on face value then that's fine but we'll all end up paying the price if we choose to continue every day to willingly give up freedoms and our money to big brother so that we can sleep easy under a false sense of security and safety.

So, would it make more sense to have a law against using every single thing that could be used for murdering a person or just a law against murder?
W have such laws against rape and murder to punish behavior. Laws do not stop crimes from being committed.
We can thank the power of the NRA who sponsor so many republican lawmakers.
You can thank the power of the second amendment... you know the one that says you can protect yourself... maybe we should ban planes, cars, knives, bats, fists, and people...
Don't forget the Pentagon where another plane just happened to hit and destroy the accounting office that was performing the audit on the $2.3 trillion dollars that Donal Rumsfeld announced that the department of defense could not account for on September 10, 2001 (how convenient)
But I guess we should all blindly trust our government and give away any and all freedoms they want to take back from us
Is this a troofer alert?
