Short article pointing out the lunacy of gun grabber logic

 I've waffled between believing our politicians are either the dumbest people on Earth, or the most stealthy evildoers the world has known.  There are probably some of each.  Until the electorate is composed of neither type, nothing will change.  Not through the ballot box, at least.

Don't forget the jury box!!!

JoeZ thank you for posting the excellent video ^5
After I finished the one posted I viewed the "Chuck Woolery " video. Chuck nailed it when he called the media the real "ASSAULT WEAPON"

I learned a lot from these videos and will use the most powerful  points when making calls to elected representatives . I also added his channel to my home screen .


As others have said ,lets get those phone lines busy !

Here's the FBI Stats on murder in the US from 2007 thru 2011.  Obviously, gun grabbers and politicians are ignoring the facts.  Using the FBI results, there is no reason at all to ban anything with a trigger on it.  Or restrict it.  Or confiscate it!  All the numbers DECREASE with years.  We're at a low for the five years in the chart.

Did I read the FBI stats correctly?
In 2011 there were 12,664 murders nationwide .
Rifles were used in 323 !

Exactly what type of planet of the apes ,twilight zone politician would focus on restricting rifles when they are rarely used in murder?

Hands and feet were used to murder 728 people the same year . It would make more sense to required big clown shoes and some sort of hand padding rather than going after rifles . It is OK to picture your favorite gungrabbing politician wearing big yellow clown shoes and the other attire associated with CLOWNS !

It may  be of advantage to keep these numbers handy when talking to friends and writing or calling .
