More shady research from

VPC

Quote:
According to the study, gun owners committed 259 justifiable homicides compared to 8,342 criminal homicides in 2012, the most recent year data was available.
That means gun owners are 32 times more likely to kill someone without cause than to act in self-defense, the study reasoned.

Gag me

A poor work of satire

Sadly many anti's will embrace it as fact

Shooting complex in Illinois to close?

Grand American Trap Shoot is held there

Gun Porn

They found 5000 of them??


Actually it is lower

They state an almost 14% increase in firearms deaths

Yes over all number or total has increased, but.....

2003 USA Population was at around 290 million total firearms deaths rounded to 30,000
comes out 1 in 9666 people in the USA died by firearm.
2013 USA Population was 318 million total firearms deaths rounded to 34,000 
comes out 1 in 9352 people in the USA

So that is a .0325 increase if you factor in population growth, not a 14% percent jump in the rate.

Now suicides make up about two thirds, so would gun control lower the suicide rate? Well Japan with almost complete gun control has a suicide rate of 19.8, and ranks 14th in the world, and the USA has lax gun control per the liberals has a rate of 10.3 ranks 63rd Availability of firearms do not increase suicide attempts, they may just be simply more efficient in achieving ones goal.  Approx 51% of suicides are firearms, but having some magical gun control, does not mean they wouldn't have slit their wrist, hung themselves or overdosed on something.

Now to homicides in 2003 there were 11,920 firearms deaths, citing USA Today above in 2013 there were 11,208, so an overall drop of 6%
  
Accidental or unintentional firearms deaths have dropped 25% from 2001 to 2011, from 800 to 600 


So perhaps USA Today might want to explore why suicides are up, and not the methods used to end ones life.

I'd guess gun was just thrown in purse

Holster people, put them in holsters

Well he won't do that again

Really shouldn't handle guns under the influence

If this passes

I will be posting  tech data everyday


The U.S. Rifle 7.62 mm M14 was adopted for military service by the United States on May 1, 1957. The M14 rifle was developed to replace four military firearms, M1 Garand rifle, M1 Carbineicon, M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle and the M3A1 submachine gun. The M in M14 stands for Model. The M14 is a rotating bolt, gas operated, air cooled, magazine fed, shoulder fired weapon. The M14 is 44.28 ” long with the hinged butt plate and weighs 8.7 pounds. With a full magazine, cleaning kit and sling it weighs 11 ½ pounds approximately. The maximum effective range is 460 meters (503 yards). The M14 has seen hostile service with the American military from the 1963 Cuban missile crisis to the Second Gulf War. The M14 rifle has been employed as a battle rifle, squad automatic weapon, competition match rifle, grenade launcher, sniper weapon system and ceremonial rifle.

Yep I agree

and if you want to make it  long term, just selling pink guns is not going to cut it

Liberal wacko

No the 2nd Amendment does not mean National Guard

Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms
each man against his own bosom? Congress shall have no power to disarm the militia.
Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an
American ... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or
state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the People."

-- Tench Coxe, 1788.


"And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from
time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take
arms...the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood
of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

-- Thomas Jefferson


“I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few politicians.” – George Mason, co-author of the 2nd Amendment.
“A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves.” – Richard Henry Lee.
“And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the Press, or the rights of Conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms.” – Samuel Adams
“Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?” – Patrick Henry.
“The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.” – Alexander Hamilton.
“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.” – Thomas Jefferson.
“To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them.” – George Mason.
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe.” – Noah Webster.
“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.” – James Madison.
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” – Benjamin Franklin.
“A free people ought to be armed.” – George Washington.
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” – Thomas Jefferson.
“The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.” – George Washington.
Or if you would rather, take a look at the actual legal definition of the militia as set forth in the United States Code:
Section 311 of US Code Title 10, entitled, "Militia: composition and classes" in its entirety:
"(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are —
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia."
