Do the Gun-Grabbers Really Want to Save Lives?<\/a><\/p>\n

My first impression is ‘No’.<\/p>\n

We often find ourselves arguing statistics with anti-gun people. Let\u2019s put the conversation into perspective. I will give you some statistics and I\u2019ll also expose the anti-gun left\u2019s real motives for gun control. First of all, don\u2019t you think that if someone really wanted to save lives, they would focus their attention on an area where the most lives are lost? If you\u2019ll notice, Anti-Gunners miss that piece of logic and gravitate toward any justification for gun control laws regardless of its inability to save lives.<\/p>\n

The gun grabbers like to use the number of 30,000 to 40,000 gun-related deaths per year but if we take out suicides, which are 60% of those deaths and we take out law enforcement-related deaths, we\u2019re left with about 14,880 gun-related homicides. Let me add something here. After seeing the results of Australia\u2019s gun ban, we know that suicides do not go down in the absence of guns. People find other means; just in case there are some Anti-Gunners out there still trying to blame suicides on guns.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where it gets interesting.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The majority of those gun-related homicides are gang-related. So, let\u2019s say we didn\u2019t have the gang problem we have in this country. If we take out gang\/gun murders the number of gun-related homicides shrinks to 2,976 per year in America. here\u2019s another interesting fact that the anti-gun left doesn\u2019t want you to know. The majority of gang-related violence occurs in Democrat-run cities across this country, which by the way are highly gun restricted and often allow violent Illegals safe harbor. Which means, the good people living within those cities are denied their right to protect themselves against the human violence that Democrats encourage with their bad policies. Now let\u2019s compare 2,976 gun-related homicides to some other things that the anti-gun left could be working on if they really wanted to save lives.<\/p>\n
