That was great, Rocky. Thanks.

all of these statistics which probably come from the fbi or some other u.s. government agency shown to the likes of 0 would or do mean nothing.

The purpose of the 2nd amendment was to protect the citizens FROM a bad government. And the purpose of the gun control laws is to protect the government FROM the people. Concise and easy to understand

Stats mostly from:

Not to sound too much like the current POTUS, but if you look at the ethnicity of the top 60 countries in that list, guess which ethnic group is the majority group in 55% of those countries.
That would be the ethnic group that has the highest rate of imprisonment (per capita) in US jails.
Guess what ethic group is the majority group in 20% of those countries.
That would be the ethnic group that is the largest component of illegal immigrants in the US.
Guess what ethnic group is the majority group in 0% of those countries.

Hello RMP,
I love facts. You can't argue with the numbers.
The latest PEW research shows a growing support for gun rights and greater rejection of further gun control laws. http://www.people-press.org/2014/12/10/g...

Both sides support control...period

In the case of guns, the right pushes gun rights while voting for controls. Effectively also supporting gun control, but not as tightly. Both sides then spout that thin difference as a wedge issue to demonize the other.

In any case both sides support control, of everything, not just guns. They parse minor differences and claim they are opposite positions.

Actually it is not wise to pretend that either the Demublicans or the Republicrats do not support gun control. Historically this is not the case. Nixon wanted to ban all handguns like the good progressive/fascist he was. Reagan favored some handgun control as well. Progressivism is strong in both parties although at least the Republicrats have a minority voice still speaking out against it (except for foreign policy - then they all go Teddy Roosevelt).

Democrats are the worse offenders when it comes to gun control, which I see as a form of people control. I don't see either mainstream party consistently opposing people control. I think the party references unintentionally help perpetuate this.

-1 for ignoring the obvious

The left pushes gun control, the right pushes gun rights.
That is exactly why it serves as a political wedge issue.
Therefore partisan references on this issue are not valueless.

Good find, RMP!
