but they damn sure don't seem to care about all of the innocent people who are victims of gun violence on a daily basis. All that is ultimately important to LaPierre and his minions in Congress who are blocking gun laws is money.
When you compare the rate of gun violence in areas abroad vs. the U.S. , it's really easy to feel depressed about how these people are holding us back from becoming a safer nation. For instance, I saw one article that said that London can go for weeks without a single shooting, and London happens to be a rather large city. I'll bet that in many of America's cities, the monthly gun murder rate exceeds that of London in an entire year.
Is it too much to ask for some gun laws so that our murder rate can be as low as theirs (or lower)?
