http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/more-guns-more-dead-cops-study-finds-n409356 Some people say that guns don't kill people, but people kill people. However it's not quite true. A study shows that more police officers get killed in the states with more guns. I don't understand why people need guns so much, it's not like they ever use it for self defense. However the criminals are allowed to get guns whenever and wherever they want at the same time. Maybe we should ban gun ownership? I'm sure it will solve the problem.
Banning all guns isn't the answer nor is it practical. States with a lot of gun owners probably have minimal gun regulations
I've met thousands of Left Wingers. I've also noticed lot's of Right Wingers creating alt accounts as Left wingers to promote their fear tactics. I can't tell if you are for real or not. The difference between the Right and the Left is the Left doesn't listen to it's extremeists~ Jon Stewart This being said, absolutely, we need some new gun laws and it's NOT a slipper slope. It's topic to topic. In fact a lot of Left Wingers I follow state they want their guns to protect their weed. The Right Wing uses the gun scare to drive profits for Industry. And it HELLA worked after the school shootings. The Profit over humanity parties raked it in.
The NRA in about 1950 was doing very poor. It had no funding. Like honey-boo boo, it added drama to gain funding. The ones that can not spot this drama crack me up. OBAMA IS GOING TO TAKE ALL YOUR GUNS! BUY BUY BUY BUY! with a side of ebola... Stay scared guys.
I didn't realize that New York and California were high gun ownership states....ridiculously flawed study...deliberately IGNORES the facts.
It also conflates per capita numbers with total numbers, and ignores the fact that total numbers on the order of 1 are statistically insignificant. If a state has 1 murder, then next year has 2, saying that's a 100% increase isn't the whole story.
