Argue with the crime rates all you want, you're still wrong. I'm talking as someone who really never had a problem with guns - didn't care if you had them or how many you had. But once Pres Obama was elected, the ammosexuals went crazy and let the gun manufacturers snow the imbeciles into believing the feds were going to go door to door to confiscate your guns. The paranoia went off the charts and now - and the rate of mass killings tell the tale - you're much more likely to get killed by a gun than you were 20 years ago when the violent crime rate was much higher. You can claim guns aren't the problem but you're only fooling yourself.
