People who carry guns are far likelier to get shot – and killed – than those who are unarmed
"Overall, Branas's study found that people who carried guns were 4.5 times as likely to be shot and 4.2 times as likely to get killed compared with unarmed citizens. When the team looked at shootings in which victims had a chance to defend themselves, their odds of getting shot were even higher."

Liberals are too stupid to educate.
Most of those fags actually think the weapon used in CT was a military weapon, or even an "assault rifle."
It was neither, and no Army on earth uses a gun like that.
But mere facts don't get in the way of a pack of sissies who crap their pants whenever they see a black-painted gun with a folding stock.

make sure to tell then that a barrel shroud is not a "shoulder thing that goes up":
Congresswoman Carolyn MaCarthy from NY wanted to ban the barrel shroud because she thought it was that shoulder thing that goes up.
