29,760 gun violence incidents YTD in America

Post by wittmeba »

According to "TheTrace" (http://www.thetrace.org/), Aug 5, 2015

29,760 Incidents of gun violence in America so far this year

~ I'd like to know how many of these events the libs feel could have been avoided by each proposed law or change in law and how it would be implemented.

~ This page: http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/ tells part of the story (mostly results after the fact). I'd like to know details and facts about the person involved (perp(s) and victim(s)), how weapon was obtained, zone/location of incident to do my own assessment. This kind of information would be a key factor in any discussion about gun control.
A Concealed Weapon Permit is nothing more than a permit to allow a LAC to wear a jacket.

Did you catch the point that the .50 Beowolf magazine will hold more than twice as many .223 rounds? Real problem for magazine restrictions.
