Some "Fun" Gun Statistics Verified by Congress

Postby zephyp » Sun, 02 May 2010 12:45:51

I ran across a piece of proposed legislation by Senator Gillibrand who is by the way from NY...you know that place where bloomberg the twit resides as mayor and runs the MAIG empire...

Anyway, the senator lists some very interesting things in her proposed bill...these are all listed right up front under a little heading called "FINDINGS" which means facts she uses as a foundation for the proposed bill...

So, on to the FACTS...

1. The black market is the source for more than 90% of guns used in crimes (gasp, I thought the source was VA gun shows)

2. The BATFE reports that about 1% of licensed gun dealers provide nearly 60% of crime gun traces (gasp, gasp, I thought most licensed dealers were suspect - if its so few why dont they just shut them down and leave everyone else alone - I know fascist of me but what the hey...)

3. The BATFE reports the top major gun trafficking corridors as the southwest border, I-95 between Miami and Boston, northern rural MI to Chicago, northern Indiana to Chicago, the triangle between LA, Las Vegas, and Phoenix, and last Birmingham AL to Chicago (triple gasp, gasp, and another triple gasp)

Regarding number 3 above - now that I've regained my breath (*gasp*) no where is VA listed nor anywhere near VA except for the I-95 corridor but it starts in Miami.

Also note that the southwest border is listed but remember this bill it talking about guns used for crimes in NY and the US...that means coming in - NOT GOING OUT...wasnt it supposed to be the other way around...

Someone should wrap a nice fish in this bill and deliver it to bloomberg the twit...or better yet e-mail it to VCDL or the NRA...also note that the focus in on NY but she also cites the US...

Oh, almost forgot - a BIG KUDOS TO SENATOR GILLIBRAND... :clap:

Link below...you can find all these fun and gasp inducing facts on pages 1-3...

Isn't she the one that took Clinton's place when she became secretary of state.? Bloomberg and the other morons flipped out when they found she was pro gun, if that's the same one.

She did take clinton's seat and I think she was somewhat pro gun. She kept guns under the bed but removed them at one time or another...

She's the one.

However, she sold us out and joined with the rest of the New York crowd.

Look at the cosponsors of the bill. This is not good for us.

Guys, look at the points she makes in the bill...exactly opposite of what we hear from twits like bloomberg, brady, and other frothing at the mouth antis...this bill isnt going anywhere very fast but the "facts" contained therein still stand and can be used against them...
