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.

Bloomberg against guns why do they have so many guns around them
GUN CONTROL HAS ALWAYS BEEN OBAMA’S GIMMICK TO GET YOUR GUNS. HOLD ONTO THEM TIGHTLY. CRIMINALS AND TERRORISTS ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE PLENTY OF GUNS AND DON’T NEED A LICENSE.
How much have you spent stocking your ammo case? LOL SUCKER!!!
Ban screwdrivers! When I was 13 three next door neighbors got robbed and stabbed to death with a screwdriver! On second thought, that is not the brightest idea if you want my help with a damn thing at all.
Ban Bombs! Oh wait we already did…
Sales are up because gun toting redneck Dick Dynasty fans fear monger stupid people into thinking the governments coming after their guns, so they go out and buy more! Why? They’re stupid! Increasing gun sales in no way justifies a lack of gun control!!!!!!
That’s a fact, but they’re far to stupid to want to believe the truth. They love their little fantasy world.
All you have to do is objectively compare gun availabilty and gun violence in Houston, TX vs. Chicago, IL to get the answers…
Even with the hardest gun laws those that want guns will only have to go to the local drug dealer to get one.
AN ARMED CITIZEN IS A SAFE CITIZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or maybe just a nut with a gun…
Gun grabbers act emotionally without common sense.
Bloomberg you are Dumberg.
Truth and Action
Lies and propaganda.
