Liberals are not good with numbers..

Must be all that liberal education.

We're talking about millions of kids dying — being shot down by assault weapons, were talking about handguns easier in the inner cities, to get these guns in the inner cities, than to get computers. This is not just a political issue, it’s a moral issue and so when we condemn the NRA we should not ignore the fact that a lot of people that have taken moral positions have been solid on this big one."

In 2011, there were 32,163 gun deaths, but according to the federal government, only 11,101 were homicides.

Of total gun deaths in 2011, 19,766 were suicides.

Of those 11,101 homicides, a majority were committed with handguns. Less than a thousand, 679, were committed with long guns.

Drilling down deeper, we see that only 323 of those murders were committed by rifles.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, all 323 deaths were kids. With those numbers, it would take 3,095 years for one million kids to be killed by "assault rifles." And he said "millions."

Which leads us to only one conclusion: Rep. Charlie Rangel is either lying, or completely ignorant.

Which is it?

I say it is a liberals inability to understand numbers.. and their assigned values..

Is there a background check for computers? Are the shelves completely empty for them too? No discs? No parts? I had no idea it was that bad. :roll:

Something I don't understand is the support for legalizing drugs and the argument that making them legal will take the profit/corruption out of the issue. As long as you can get them on demand there will be no drug cartels making hugh profits off of them. This is the story behind legalizig drugs BUT the government is now hell bent on making guns illegal. So if they all get their ways you can legally get higher than a kite get in your car and drive down to the corner and look up your old drug dealer who is now out peddling illegal guns for the profit he can get from them now that they are ILLEGAL. :roll: .
