Heres a few things about guns and gun laws;


In 2018 there were 387 deaths from mass shootings. That is; four or more shot
(although not actually killed) in one single shooting incident.


BTW...there are twice that or more killed by shooting every year in the city
of Chicago alone! ......but I digress.....


Most of the 387 I cited above are ordinary criminals like gang related or bar
fights that erupt into gunfire, and many at parties. Around 100 were from
random killers in mass shootings like the ones that lefties freak out over and
go all `gun-control' berserk.


News coverage makes those types of shootings high-powered like they become;
lingering on and on in the printed and broadcast media for days and days,
prompting triggered politicians and administrations on the state and city
level to spout crapola on the need to `control guns'.


In fact, there are more privately owned guns in the US than ever and murder
rates have been declining, and is at a record low: more guns...less crime.


But the lefties and their media cheerleaders will never allow that information
to be widely broadcast.


In 2017 Chicago had 660 murders. In 2018 there were 561.


As I type this there have been 330 killed in Chicago so far this year...and
there are still 4 months left of 2019.....


What you *never* see printed or spoken of on broadcast media by the leftie
so-called `press'...is there are over one million defensive uses of firearms
in the United States every year!


How many more would be killed or wounded if all guns were removed from the
hands of the citizenry? BTW....if any leftie out there thinks all these
firearm deaths would be solved by taking firearms away from private citizens,
and then `nobody' would have firearms anymore....think again.


They tried that with alchohol back in the early part of last century. How'd
that work out?


But...to go on....


Last year there were around 70,000 deaths from opioids. Over 4.5 times the
number of murders and over 700 times the number of deaths caused by mass
shooters.


However...democrats continue to refuse to do anything to take control of our
international borders where a huge majority of deadly drugs pour into the
country. They've so far prevented every effort this president has made to do
so.


This country has almost 400 million people. Why should ordinary owners of
firearms have their rights severely restricted or even taken away?


There are no laws in existence or that could be enacted that will deter a
criminal determined to commit a violent act. All new restrictive gun laws do
is make it easier for criminals bent on mayhem to do as they please.
