Why the NRA Gets Its Way

The random acts of a few nut cases who are intent on killing people are not a reason to enact more gun control. America 'is' 28th in the world for gun violence, after most EU and Latino countries. |

I know it's not. I wonder though, in the stats you quoted, is there any breakdown on the ethnicity of those who used guns in the commission of a murder? I doubt it, not too PC. The "28th" I quoted was from "Boortz" -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
