Gun control in perspective

1 - Eleven teens die each day because of texting while driving. Maybe it's time to raise the age of Smart Phone ownership to 21.



2 - If gun control laws actually worked, Chicago would be Mayberry, USA.



3 - The Second Amendment makes more women equal than the entire feminist movement.



4 - Legal gun owners have 300 million guns and probably a trillion rounds of ammo. Seriously, folks, if we were the problem, you'd know it.



5 - When JFK was killed, nobody blamed the rifle.



6 - The NRA (National Rifle Association) murders 0 people and receives ($$$$ 0) nothing in government funds. Planned Parenthood kills 350,000 babies every year and receives $500,000,000 in tax dollars annually.



7 - I have no problem with vigorous background checks when it comes to firearms. While we're at it, let's do the same when it comes to immigration, Voter I.D., and candidates running for office.



8 - Folks keep talking about another Civil War. One side knows how to shoot and probably has a trillion rounds. The other side has crying closets and is confused about which bathroom to use. How do you think that would work out?



9 A man who left 300,000 guns for the Taliban is lecturing folks on gun control.



There’s more logic and common sense expressed here than probably anything you have seen on the news today

More perspective:

Here is a table from the FBI's Uniform Crime Report database from 2019. Notice the number of homicides with rifles vs. blunt objects. The evil AR-15, the rifle designed to mow down nuns and orphans, is a subset of all rifle murders. Less than 100 people are killed with AR-15s every year. You're 4 times more likely to be bludgeoned with a hammer or baseball bat.
