By the way, I'm not automatically anti-gun. I grew up with them. By the time I was 10 I had already shot .22s, 410s, and 12 gauges.
I just cringe and think that the NRA is making the situation worse.
Anyway, yes, this thread is for facts. Tallying the dead. 71% of the murders in my city are committed with a gun. That's a fact.

Your comment was direct towards me, not the NRA. I stated two facts, you ignored them.
