Pathetic... Even The 'Democratic Underground' Is Afraid Of The NRA

68. Despite oodles of readily-available weaponry...

...millions of 11+ capacity magazines, and billions of rounds of the best, deadliest ammunition in the history of mankind, our homicide rate is half of what it was when Clinton announced his candidacy.


Despite the fact that there are literally tens of millions of people that can, within minutes, walk down to their nearest crowded commercial or religious building with whatever they have in their closet commit a mass murder... it's a rare and shocking event when it occurs.


Despite the fact that there are a hundred and fifty million people that can, with a credit card and no more than a 14-day wait, purchase a gun with which to commit mass murder... it's a rare and shocking event when it occurs.


Despite the fact that there are two hundred twenty million people that can, with some ready cash and a copy of the classifieds, buy a used gun on a whim and commit mass murder, it's a rare and shocking event when it occurs.



If people don't go into muscle-paralyzing spasms of fear at the shear amount of potential slaughter from driving with other cars on the interstate, then why should people be the same way about the hundreds of millions of guns in private hands in America?
