Fun Fact #1: the 2nd amendment of the bill of rights is there so if the government tries to screw you over you a least have a fighting chance.

Fun Fact #2: the BATFE (that's the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives fore all you kids who don't know) killed 70 some people, 21 of which were children, which either burned alive or from the cyanide created form burning CS gas. They did not even try to put out the fires, as they would not allow the fire dpt. near the building. This all happened under jackass Bill Clinton.

Fun Fact #3: The aforementioned asshole Bill Clinton posted the first ban on "assault weapons", most of which were not assault rifles (i.e. selective fire) but semi-automatic rifles. The consensus about the ban was it did absolutely nothing to lower the gun violence statistics. Furthermore he used an executive order (first used by FDR the most socialist president we've ever had) to instate it which means he did not need anyone approval to do so.

Fun Fact #4: Most gun violence crimes are committed in places that have very stringent gun control laws. Case in point, CT has an "assault weapons" ban already in place. Why is it that no one ever decides to go to the south and shoot up a school, hmm, i wonder? Maybe because most of those kids grew up around guns and know how to deal with the situation; or maybe because the local community would skin the shooter alive. Also why the father of a child killed in Columbine, spoke in front of the Senate saying that he was opposed to another gun ban.

And Fun Fact #5: Most gun violence is committed with illegally obtained weapons, most murder happen with either a blunt object or a knife. More people die every year from drunk/ or otherwise idiotic drivers than they do of getting shot. People also do not realize that some deaths from guns are suicides.

As a last note, would it not make more sense to educate people about gun, have them know how and when to use them safely; than to treat them like the boogyman in the closet. ignorance often leads to fear.
