Fans of gun control (read: citizen control) are all smiles until they’re confronted with hard facts. The truth is nothing like what they preach:
Earlier this week, Michael Bloomberg’s new anti-gun Everytown released a bogus report claiming since Newtown in December 2013, 74 school shootings have taken place. The report was so bogus, even CNN went out of the way, twice, to correct the record. More from Ed Morrissey:For the second time in two days, CNN went out of its way to debunk the Michael Bloomberg/Barack Obama claim that mass shootings have become epidemic and a “new normal” in American society. The day after CNN debunked the Bloomberg-funded Everytown claim that there were 74 Newtown-style mass shootings since Sandy Hook, Jake Tapper interviewed Northeastern University criminology professor James Alan Fox to look at the data rather than the anecdotes. Over a 40-year period, Fox concluded, mass shootings have remained flat — even while the population of the country has grown significantly over the same period.
Since we’re on the topic of “gun violence,” it’s never a bad time for a reality check. The fact is, as lawful gun sales have increased, crimes carried out with a firearm have decreased. A majority of people think violent crimes carried out with firearms have increased over the past 20 years. They haven’t, but instead have been cut in half.

crimes will go down when everyone knows people have weapons
The gun grabbers are not concerned about the FACTS. They only want to CONTROL us by taking our guns. We won’t give up our guns.
They don’t need facts they’ve got Obama
Keep telling yourselves that.
Nobody is trying to take our guns.. wake up…
Its just right wing radical propaganda ….
Notice when you read stories, you can never find the event.
There is nothing wrong with getting guns out of the hands of the mentally ill…
