I've been saying this for years on this and the old board.  I've also pointed out that you're more likely to die in a car crash or getting out of the shower then you are in a mass shooting.  This simple fact hasn't done anything to reduce the outrage we've seen in the past month.



I think you'd have a hard time tying the expiration of the ban as the cause of these shootings.  Much like any copy cat crime, a sick individual looking for fame will follow the example of another who achieved it.


This is an outstanding response.  If the efforts of these kids were focused in that direction then they'd have the entire country and both houses of Congress behind them.  it's a shame they chose to focus on the tool used to kill instead of the reasons why this person decided killing was a viable, even preferable, option.


Of perhaps they don't want tax payer funds used to advance an anti-2A agenda?  What was it Twain said about statistics?  In any event Bloomberg is a multi-billionaire, he could fund such a study out of his own pocket and not even notice.  He claims that limiting gun ownership is his goal, why not facilitate the research to back his agenda?

Not sure why it is anti-2A to have the actual statistics about gun death and gun violence like we do other deaths.  Heck, maybe it would show guns aren't the boogeymen man some people say they are?
