I can't vouch for the above figures, but I wouldn't be surprised.
It's simple really.
If Obama has any balls he'll start the ball rolling to have this ridiculous 'right' struck from the constitution.
Pretty much, the world is sick of it. Time for Americans to say... "we've lost all control of firearms, and we're starting to look like a bunch of sicko's in the eyes of the world".
And when your love for firearms is more than your love for kids, something is very very wrong.
Yeah, I know people will whinge and carry on that it's PEOPLE that kill, not the gun (or knife), but at the very least, it's time for some serious soul searching and the instigation of proper background checks and/or hugely reducing the availability of high powered "war type" guns allowed to be owned.
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for the 'average' person to have semi automatic or fully automatic weapons available to them. I see no reason for nothing more than a 9mm pistol to be available to protect oneself or ones home.
Have a huge buyback and if nothing else, get rid of millions of guns on the streets. I know lots of crims wont hand their guns back, but at least getting rid of a few million is a start.
But the yanks won't do it. They are all the same. Power hungry and driven by greed, stupidity and their damn RIGHTS.
Obama doesn't have the balls to take on the NRA, and what does he care, he'll be 'retired' in a little under four years.
And what's worse is the media play on this hysteria and sensationalise everything so much so, that the next psychotic criminal that goes on a killing spree has to compete with previous mass murderers and see if he can kill even more innocent people.
Meanwhile, the Americans will wring their hands, the NRA will be strangely silent, and we'll wait for the next killings, more anguish and promises that will amount to nothing, and then wait again. The vicious circle will continue.
Get Real
