The national argument about guns is NOT about deaths or shootings. It is about the eventual goal of confiscation and the overturning of the 2nd amendment. Most gun deaths are suicides. No one is seriously talking about stopping suicides and if they did the discussion would revolve around mental health and not a gun or a pill that is used to commit suicide. The second biggest number of gun deaths occurs in about half a dozen cities where gangs, mostly black gangs, shot each other and often bystanders. Almost nothing is done in those places that would be effective to stop this. The last time something was done it was done in NY City by Giuliani and the ACLU bent over backwards to end it. That was stop and frisk. One wonders if they were serious about ending gun deaths why common sense efforts like stop and frisk should not be allowed.

Almost all the deaths by guns; the bad deaths where a bad guy shoots someone and the good deaths where a policeman or a home owner shoots someone to protect lives, are done with handguns not rifles. Very few deaths are the result of rifles and of these even fewer are the result of AR15's or what is commonly called Assault rifles. So ask yourself why the knee jerks within seconds of a shooting demand that AR15s be banned? Why not ban handguns in the hands of gang members and felons??? Oh yeah that's already illegal and yet is the single largest source of preventable gun homicides. So why go after AR15s?

Why go after AR15s? The simple answer is this is a backdoor effort to end private gun ownership and subvert the 2nd amendment. The goal is to intimidate legal and honest gun owners out of their guns. To make it impossible for the honest gun owners to thread that needle of laws and regulations such that he just gives up his guns. They will do this for one simple reason: They are honest and law abiding and fear the law. The gang banger and felon will not! Mass shooters and school shooters will not! This isn't aimed at them. This is about a cabal of mostly far left and communist associated and funded anti-gun activists who want to overturn the 2nd amendment. They do NOT want to make the world or the U.S. safer. they know it won't be safer if they take away guns from honest people. They have a different goal and it does not involve constitutional rights.

This is an all out assault on our civil rights mostly funded by communist groups and people foor the purpose of creating an unarmed America; a country of serfs and not citizens. Why?
