Some Other Disease?
In today’s Tulsa World, our mayor tried to make her case for
Gun Control, saying that Three-quarters of homicides
are with guns, and most of them are obtained illegally.
In and of itself that is not necessarily wrong, at least until you get to what she is trying to accomplish. If the Guns are obtained illegally, then the cops aren’t doing their job, since it is CRIMINALS (you know the guys that DONT OBEY the laws) that are acquiring these guns. If the cops would actually arrest, prosecutors actually prosecute and judges actually sentence these scumbags, the problem would be greatly diminished.
Instead, people likeTaylor
reminds me of an old bumper sticker:
when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns
think about that one for a moment, by outlawing guns, if you own one, you automatically become a criminal
but in the story she also made this statement
If 30,000 people were dying from some other disease, we would be up in arms
you mean like tobacco? 430,700 people die a year
or maybe alcohol? 110,640 people die a year
of course her per year numbers for homicide are also inflated, which actually sits at about 20,000, so her 3/4 estimate knocks her 30,000 down to 15,000...
