Do you all realize homicides by guns are at their lowest rates since 1981? That in 1993 we had 7 gun homicides per 100K while today the rate is 3.6 per 100K (almost half?).
The gun violence problem is greatly exaggerated by those with a anti-gun stance. If those same people realized in 2010 suicides by gun were almost double homicides by gun it may become clear this is more of a choice issue. Similar to the choice afforded to a mother of an unwanted embryo.
Just wish we could find a way to convince shooters to kill themselves before killing others and many of these mass shootings could be avoided w/o impeding lawful residents with needless/endless regulations.
