I Live in Colorado...and I posted this on Facebook today.

It would be wonderful if insane people would not shoot people. It would be wonderful if insane people would not stab people. It would be wonderful if drunk people would not kill people while driving their automobiles. It would be wonderful if drug addicts would not kill people to steal $5.00 from them.....to buy more drugs.

I attended a local gun show today. It is typically a VERY SLOW GUN SHOW. No lines....heck.....hardly anyone there at all normally.

Today Channel 9 News was there......interviewing people going into the show.

I walked around. It was not easy. There were people from wall to wall. I overheard MANY conversations.....not whispers....but strikingly loud voices. People conveying the outrage over what happenned in a movie theater.

Families- children in tow. Not people in panic mode.....but people who for varying reasons.....felt that.....protection....legal protection.....from insane people.....was all of a sudden......... a very good idea.

There are approximately 300 million firearms owned by people in the United States. 300 MILLION. That is 9 firearms.....for every 10 people....alive today.

ONE.....insane person.....out of 300,000,000.00 people did something HORRIBLE, UNFORGIVABLE and EVIL.....a day ago. I hope he fries for it.

71 people are killed EACH AND EVERY DAY....in the United States....by drunk drivers.

71 Today............71 yesterday...........71 tomorrow....and every day to come.

EVERY SINGLE YEAR........708,000 people will be injured by drunk drivers....just in the United states. Read that again please......708,000 people.

Ponder it. Feel free to challenge me on it. But.......don't drive after 8pm.

80% of all alcohol related deaths happen after 8 pm.

If you are 35 years old. You have a 50% chance of being killed in an automobile collision during your life. 1....in two. The odds don't get much worse than that.

299,999,999 people who own guns.........did not walk into a movie and hurt anyone anyone in the last couple of day.

Drunk drivers.......killed 142 innocent people in the last couple of days. And tomorrow, 71 more innocent people will be killed.

The problem is not firearms.....the problem is idiots.

Awesome. I won't post it on Facebook, because Facebook is gay (literally) but I will use it on a different blog. If you don't care about copyright infringement.

There's only one major flaw in your argument. LOGIC. Logic doesn't register with anti-gun types. Emotion does.
