"Tuesday -- the day before President Barack Obama unveiled his new proposals to reduce gun violence, including background checks on all gun sales and a revised ban on assault weapons -- was like any other average day of bloodshed in the United States.

There were no catastrophes comparable to the Newtown tragedy that spurred the national debate on gun control, only the run-of-the-mill shootings that make the U.S. a leader of gun crime in the so-called developed world."

But the NRA apologists tell us that because murder rates are dropping, more guns are a good thing and there is no need for any further gun control measures. Being number one and the world leader in not only the number of guns per capita, but in gun injuries and deaths is indeed something the NRA and it's enablers can be very proud of indeed.

Because, you know: Second Amendment, My Rights, Freedom, and Liberty. Yay America! Home of the most armed and dangerous society in the developed world.
