    Cars Kill over 30,000 in America, more than guns
    Knifes kill 5X more than rifles (Including that scary assault rifle)
    Over half of Americas gun violence is inner-city gang related (illegal guns)
    The other 14,000, sure it`s a lot, but it`s not terrible more than Europe.
    We need to fix poverty, drug abuse, mental health to rid ourselves of violence. People will always find a way to kill, they did hundreds to thousands of years ago before guns, they always will.

    So addressing it for the deaths from suicide isnt valid either.

    Got it. Fuck you people too. Sooner you die the better.

    Thanks for sharing.

    What a load of crap!!!!! Oh god, PLEASE don't believe anything you see on that website!
    Here are the US stats compiled by the FBI... Probably a better source than a fucking website run by Alex Jones, who is pretty much the anti-Christ.
    https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013/offenses-known-to-law-enforcement/expanded-homicide/expanded_homicide_data_table_8_murder_victims_by_weapon_2009-2013.xls

    See, this is why I'm terrified of the American right. They have no qualms whatsoever in straight up spreading baldfaced LIES, and millions and millions of people believe the lies and base their opinions on the lies and spread the lies as fact. It is fucking horrifying.

    Awesome
    You quote and use alex jones as source for your information.
    What's next? A link that proves that Eddie Vedder is a member of the illuminati?
    Or that he's part of the new world order?
    Or that the U.S. is run by ZOG?
    Or how about this golden oldy...the jews run everything

    put in your address/zipcode and see how many shooting have taken place within one mile of your place this year! I got: There has been 1 shooting within a 1-mile radius of this point in the past year, 0 fatal and 1 non-fatal. The closest shooting was 0.91 miles away. :blush:

    Interesting website. There has been 1 shooting, a fatal shooting 1.06 miles from my house this past year. A 22 year old son killed his 51 year old father on Jan 9, 2015.

    very interesting web site. I've only had one that was 3.5 miles away. Two people were injured and the shooter was eventually caught.

    I had 1 shooting non fatal .38 miles away.

    Better head to the gun shop and load up on all the semi-automatic assault rifles they'll sell me.

    Check out the lesson she says she learned, lmao.

    She is reportedly a sharp shooter. I bet she was considered a very responsible gun owner down at the range.

    I can't believe how someone can reconcile the use of deadly force to protect merchandise from a big box store.

    I'm glad she has lost access to firearms.
