"The tools of criminals are almost always ill-gotten guns."

Guns are stolen from homes and stolen from cars. They’re bought on the black market from felons or corrupt collectors who ask no questions. They’re obtained using “straw buyers” who legally buy firearms and then illegally sell them to others. They are traded for drugs. They are stolen, through burglaries and robberies, from pawnshops and gun retailers. “I would say pretty much every day someone is stealing a gun,” Hamilton said.
So, will someone explain to me how infringing on law-abiding firearm owners' God-given and inalienable rights to liberty and property -- including universal background checks -- will do ONE DAMN THING to stop this?

The solution to this vexing problem is simple. The end of the article explains it all.

"But guns are hardly in all hands... The Pew survey also provided a demographic breakdown showing that among gun owners, 82 percent were white, 74 percent were men and 61 percent were white men, who make up 32 percent of the population."

Hence, white men are mostly to blame for America's gun problem. If we were to do something about these white men, America's gun problem would be greatly reduced.

This is the world according to Pew, Gallup and mainstream media, in their attempt to eliminate the Second Amendment.

Quoted from the atricle:

"A 2012 General Social Survey and a 2013 survey by the Pew Research Center suggest that fewer homes now possess guns than in the past. About 34 percent of homeowners had at least one gun in the house or garage in 2012, the GSS report said, down from 49 percent in 1973. Pew found 33 percent of homes had guns in 2012.

A Gallup Poll, meanwhile, said that while gun ownership has gone up and down over the past four decades, 43 percent of households had guns in 1972 — the same percentage as in 2012.

The Pew survey also provided a demographic breakdown showing that among gun owners, 82 percent were white, 74 percent were men and 61 percent were white men, who make up 32 percent of the population."



So.....where ARE all the guns, and who is buying the millions more being manufactured every year?? If a pollster were to ask me, I would say, "NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS!!" I only discuss firearms with trusted associates and family members, and even THEY don't know everything I may or may not own.
