Some Gun Fact Observations

Anyone who thinks the second amendment is to cover hunting rights needs to take a civics and/ or US History class. The US Supreme court has ruled already on this (twice if memory serves, once in the 19th and once in the late mid 20th centuries) stating w/o ambiguity that the 2nd amendment is in place so that every legal adult citizen has his own arms to defend the Constitution from any threat it faces, not murder Bambi. Anyone who thinks the term "assault weapon" is valid beyond it's use as a propaganda tool knows almost nothing about firearms. Anyone who thinks "gun control" will eliminate gun crime, or that gun crime is even the most common type of crime in the nation, needs to a) see how well the drug control laws are doing and b) notice that of all crimes committed with guns, very few of them (along the lines of 1/4, actually it's only 16% of the recovered guns used in crimes are not stolen, so I am rounding up to the nearest quarter percent  for the sake of the anti gun people to not feel as stupid as they ought) were committed by people who legally obtained and possessed their weapons.
In other words, of the 260,000,000 guns legally owned in the us, 8,000 crimes (not just murders, but all crimes, including those resulting in nothing more than bent feelings, and derived from 32k total crimes multiplied by 1/4) were committed with guns legally obtained and possessed. The number of murders, then, committed by persons who legally obtained/ possessed their "assault weapons" then would stand at approx. 110 (1/4 of 438). That means you are more likely to die from a vaccination than you are from a legally obtained/ possessed "assault weapon," you are almost 200x more likely to die from government subsidized tobacco, and you are almost 200x more likely to die as a result of your health care.

Facts- Things people keen on destroying the US Constitution tend to ignore on favor of their agenda.
