Another 26,000 die of liver disease. Only eight one-thousands of one percent of Americans are killed by firearms. Thousands of times every year firearms are used legally by honest citizens to foil crimes against themselves or their property. Hundreds of lives are saved by the lawful use of firearms. The liberal press ignores those stories.
Many liberals call for legalization of drugs one day, and the ban of handguns the next.
It sure hasn't worked in New York or Washington, D.C., with the toughest gun controls laws and worst violence in the nation. Or Puerto Rico, with worse violence and tougher gun laws than either N.Y. or D.C., and no adjoining states to blame for the availability of guns. I ran across an interesting poster a few months back. Four figures were pictured - Fidel Castro, Adolph Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and Bill Clinton. By the resistance that has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft.
