https://www.netadvisor.org/2015/11/...cent-more-murders-than-republican-red-states/ We reviewed the 2014 Uniform Crime Report Table and looked at what types of known firearms were associated with the most murders. In 2014, Handguns were used in 5,851 murders. Shotguns were used in 262 murders. Rifles (all types combined) were used in 248 murders. Thus the findings show all types of rifles including the AR-15, were used in just 2.8 percent of all murders in 2014.
States cannot protect people from criminals, even when guns are illegal to own, guns will always be obtained by those that want to commit heinous crimes, I'm reading these stupid comparisons here between the US and other countries, The US breeds brokenness, let the innocent protect themselves, many states currently allow open carry and I support the states that are currently attempting to loosen control, as far as automatic weapons? Its not brain surgery to make a semi-automatic weapon fully automatic, B1, I do not know how you do it, you have way more patience than me,- https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/explainer-states-seeking-loosen-controls-guns-76638123
Fully automatic weapons are not always obtained by those that want to commit heinous crimes,virtually never.When was the last time a murder was committed with a fully automatic weapon?
I just state facts and common sense. There will always be detractors. I like having them around so that it reminds folks of just how anti-American and out of whack they are.
Joe bombs Syria, deranged man of Syrian descent goes on killing spree. 2+2=4. Religious fanatic hates himself for getting happy endings, can't live up to idiotic 17th century Puratin standards preached in his lunatic church, goes on killing spree. 2+2=4. This ain't rocket science people. The problem is mental health crisis we have in this country. Addressing that is a long and complicated process. We don't do long and complicated very well in America. We do quick fix, feel good for a moment. Banning assault weapons isn't the answer. We need a much stricter application process to purchase a gun, any gun. We need mandatory training for gun owners, no exceptions. We need to address the problem of untreated mental illness. We need to ask ourselves why most of the people in therapy are privileged pussies, and the average person who needs it can't get it or afford it.
Fully automatic weapons virtually never making it into the hands of criminals would prove that to be EXACTLY WRONG. We can keep guns out of the wrong hands with the right laws.
They do it far more often with guns than other weapons. ---Funny that--- A person is not going to kill 30 children in a school with a knife.
