How They Got Their Guns

well, considering MORE (legal) gun ownership promotes LESS crime, these incidents only increase knee-jerk reactions in people who already have certain agendas set in their minds. Look at the big picture.

Airplanes crash killing hundreds at a time, its STILL the safest mode of transport... Also, why aren't the 'gun grabbers' complaining about Chicago where this happens EVERY WEEKEND? Are 'gun grabbers' racist?

Violent crime is on the decrease. an 'inconvenient truth' that 'grabbers' don't like to talk about. https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/...

What would constitute sufficient complaining about Chicago?

Have you looked for that? Are you sure it doesn't exist?

oh it does to some degree, but I've only seen it once here on HN. What I meant by that is that the MSM doesn't cover it nearly as much as one of these sensationalized events. You don't see the headlines much (if at all) on MSN, CNN or Huffington, but they scream about guns when something like Orlando happens.

The differences being that the guns are usually legally purchased by the assailant (aside from Adam Lanza) and that the victims are (in the majority) Caucasian.
