I think the fact that more than 30,000 Americans will be killed by guns
at
the hands of their fellow citizens this year is massively irrational.
========================
Tell me, how many were with these so-called assault weapons, by the corner
drug-dealer.
Why are you offended by the term assault weapons?
Because it's a semantic deception. It's a phrase coined by the liberal media
in an attempt to demonize certain semi-automatic firearms based on their
visual appearance.
Nice try at evasion, however. His actual question was "how many" of the
(specious and incorrect) number of deaths you claim were caused by "assault
weapons?"
Do you have an answer? Clue: The information is available from the FBI, and
the numbers are actually very small.
If there are national statistics on gun deaths through drug related offences
I'd be interested to see them.
Then go look them up.
