Do you people even check numbers and facts?
While the US is number one in gun ownership we are 28th in murders per 100,000. If you remove the numbers of the 20 largest cities in the country that number drops dramatically. Chicago alone is responsible for about 5% of the country's homicides, and 80% of those are gang related(as stated by the police chief there) killings. How funny is it that legislation happened in an instant for assault weapons, which affect about 1 in every million people here. Yet it takes forever to effect legislation to stop us from over borrowing to make up for the trillion plus deficit that affects every single US citizen. Get the facts and the numbers. Use the FBI's UCR statistics, read more, watch and listen less.
