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.

NO ONE is trying to “get your guns.” You guys are just spreading lies. Nothing more.
It’s what they’re best at.
Nobody should be allowed to own a gun except the police.
Now hold on there, little chief. You’ve gone a bit too far.
Burt, don’t be an idiot. Obummer IS trying to disarm the citizens, he disregards the facts and lies to everyone trying to gain support for his takeover of our country… wake up….before it’s to late
WAKE UP FROM YOUR IDIOTIC FANTASY WORLD SHEEPLE! (Sorry ya’ll this is all s
ome can fathom.)
Thanks Burt,

They are someplace else or they want bad guy’s to kill WE THE PEOPLE

This will of course fall on deaf ears.
No, there are some RWNJ extemist who will use this as an excuse to shoot up a Wally World, a school, or maybe just the police.
