Default Why the NRA Gets Its Way

Most estimates put it at over 1,000,000 per year.


Not true. The accurate estimates run between 275 per year and
-63,000,000. The larger number is negative because that's the number of
victims who weren't attacking the gun-toter. Did you know that fully 60%
of all gun-related deaths are caused or influenced by atmospheric carbon
monoxide?

It's easy to claim events that may or may not have happened because
you *think* that it's possible. That's not much of a defense.


The gun nuts are really Darwinists, you know. Aiming a firearm is a true
survival skill.
