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.

Tell that to the parents of dead school kids and drive by victims!!!! It’s not that easy!!!!! Sorry
Newton Carroll, you are really an idiot, aren’t you? The ones who do the shooting in 99.9%, are not to even be allowed guns!! It is law abiding citizens that have to step up and make sure that Liberals, like you understand that!! Or you could move to Canada, England or any other country that will not allow the rights to carry a gun!!

Isn’t it convienent how Politicians lie to fulfill their own goals, but how the truth will be more compelling?
time for complaints is over it’s time to revolt.
A wacko uses a gun and goes on a killing spree, and Liberals blame the gun and ALL innocent, law abiding, responsible gun owners, and they freaking call that common sense?!?!
Right on Mike Perez!
I feel like it’s time for this country to revolt. We can’t take anymore and we’re on our own.
