Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican

So let me get this straight: some of the same members of Congress who think the right to own an assault arm is more important than children's lives now want taxpayers to protect them with heightened security and installation of equipment because they feel threatened by those who might use that unrestricted access to threaten them?

Maybe they should call the NRA.

What are the states with the most guns, Alaska, Kentucky, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, murder rate is what in those states? Please blame the shooter not a gun.

@southbeachguy just to keep you honest....
Without looking, i know that alaska has the 5th most murders per capita in the united states.
If i look, i will lay odds that most others are red states too.

@southbeachguy When finally the government had no choice but to admit cigarettes killed people....then the government had no problem blaming cigarettes. But when guns kill people... we shouldnt say its a gun that did that. Hmmmm. Pretty ironic you say the word "cigarette " but you cant say "guns".

@southbeachguy those states are heavy with hunting rifles. Canada has tons of guns. Hunting rifles. All the murder and mass shootings are not being done by hunters.

Canada has two allowable uses for firearms.. range / target shooting and hunting.. that is IT.. Any other use of a fire arm is criminal and the criminals are not licensed or using legally obtained firearms they are using smuggled guns and ammunition because that is the ONLY way they can get their hands on it. Legally held firearms are securely locked up...@summersmiles
