More background checks is tighter controls on who can get a gun. But I'm with YOU on the 2nd amendment issues.
Anyone have a theory for why Washington DC has, by far, the highest homicide rate in the country, when they have perhaps the toughest gun control? http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/usa/homicide Their rate is more than 5 times that of Oregon. Go Blazers
yeah..thats the trouble with "stats", its the old liers figure and figures lie. In Orgon last year I believe the death by gun was around 530, but after removing all of the reasons, only about ten percent were homicide
Your link points out the deliberate deception of not just listing gun murders, which are only about 25 % of all civilian gun deaths.
That is cryptic. Many suicides are by gun (55%), but what does that have to do with terminally ill people?
Many suicides are really murders and many accidents and accidental overdoses are really suicides. Everything you know is wrong
Guns are used successfully for self defense 2, 500, 000 times a year in the US, which is 60 times for each murder by gun.
