Helpful Gun Debate Argument

[bryjcom]

As you probably know, people are gonna be talking about gun control, and we all need to be prepared with interesting and stunning arguments. We all know the TRUE purpose of the 2nd amendment, but they don't always understand that.

One of my favorites is citing that over 174 MILLION people have been murdered at the hands of governments in the 20th century alone, mostly from their own government, and mostly from their "compassionate and loving" left wing governments. Thats more than all the soldiers that died in warfare in the same period.

So here you go... He's actually revised his estimate over 200 million. http://hawaii.edu/powerkills/20TH.HTM

Good info.

Still not sure why we are talking AWB, when an "assauly weapon" was not even used.

Allegedly, an AR15 was used in the school shooting. I still do not refer to them as "assault weapons".

Allegedly, an AR15 was within a couple hundred yards of the school shooting. I still do not refer to them as "assault weapons".

Corrected for accuracy. No rounds were fired from the AR.

You should add these to the list of arguments as well.

Sorry Op I don't mean to high jack your post here but clearly we have WAY more issues than guns so I just wanted to share.

Well, now one report states that the kids were killed by multiple rifle shots. I wish the media would get the facts correct before posting anything.

This is on CNN's site now

More on what the state's chief medical examiner told reporters minutes ago in Newtown: He said the "long weapon" was used in the shooting, and that the weapon caused all of the wounds that he knew of.He didn't say what that weapon was, but a law enforcement source has previously said that the gunman was found dead with next to three guns: a semi-automatic .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle and two pistols made by Glock and Sig Sauer.The medical examiner, H. Wayne Carver II, said he personally did postmortem examinations of seven victims' bodies.“All the wounds that I know of at this point were caused by the one weapon,” Carver said.

The Ban is all but done now boys.
