"Living in the United States now is like being a Tampon.

We're in a great place, just at a bad time."

Very well done. The incredibly sad thing is that at our
local National Guard armory there is a food bank for the
families of deployed troops. It truly is pitiful how we
treat our soldiers and their families.

Yeah, but worse than soldiers' families on food stamps are *gun owning* families with women, children and the elderly who must put up with the man of the household possibly using these guns on THEM !!

(most crime stats say that shooting victims already knew the perpetrator - instead of it being a total stranger who wondered in from somewhere else)


Cites?

VBG Lets see em. Not the bogus claims that shooting victims are
family members

Oh, for God's sake. Gunner, this is one of the best-measured stats in
the gun wars.

"?In 2011, in incidents of murder for which the relationships of
murder victims and offenders were known, 54.3 percent were killed by
someone they knew (acquaintance, neighbor, friend, boyfriend, etc.);
24.8 percent of victims were slain by family members. The
relationship of murder victims and offenders was unknown in 44.1
percent of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter incidents in 2011."
