Pressing for more gun control laws, President Obama said “more than 11,000 Americans were killed by gun violence.”
Yes, what a tragedy there’s no law in America to make killing illegal.

sounds really impressive when you inflate the numbers by includingpolice shootings, criminal-on-criminal shootings, deaths that were not caused directly by guns, but guns were present at the scene, and suicides. At the same time about 1,150,000 (that’s over a million) Americans were STABBED in 2015. When are we going to get knife control??? Do it for the children!
@1 it actually would have been even MORE stabbings, but not for some of those stabbers getting shot. There is actually a correlation between in crease in gun ownership and an increase concealed carry license holders and a DROP in the stabbing rate. Now, I’ll be the first to point out that correlation is not causation, but that’s not something gun grabbers generally care about.
Damn guns being violent like that, ought to send them all back to Gunland where they came from. If this country paid any attention to its border security then these filthy guns would not be wandering around America, fostering their filthy gun ways on honest, decent Americans.
Ooh! Ooh! I know! Let’s give the criminals with guns better ideas! (I know, brilliant, right?) Now that that’s solved, I’m off for a round of golf . . .
(Seriously, though, why does Obama insist that violent Americans must be disarmed, but violent Islamists must just be re-educated? And isn’t that a slam on Islam, anyway, saying that they need better ideas? I smell a fatwa coming! The future must not belong to those who insult the ideas of the Prophet, SCOAMF.)

…and only 9000 of them were in the community Obama organized.

Better Idea? He plans on selling them Ford?
Why, that’s 1/9th of the number of people killed by medical mistakes!
In other words, Obamacare is a bigger killer than guns.
Now I’m really confused.
