#gun con

Obama desperately wanted sensible gun control after Aurora, Sandy Hook and Orlando.

The GOP said no.

Now the GOP says: “But this is Obama’s fault for not passing gun control laws!”

The @BandaiNamcoUS Gun Con. More fun that shooting your neighbour’s cat!

I am endlessly fascinated by how the far right uses fear, hate and ignorance to unite their base. I have been following these groups on Facebook for a few months to observe their messages and the conversations that follow. Here is yet another example where information is deceptively pieced together to intentionally mislead their followers. The scary thing is that you only have to do a quick search and a couple of clicks to find out the truth. Here was my response and I look forward to the hate mail I am sure to receive for offering the facts. This is completely misleading. The U.K. has a much broader definition of violent crime than the US. They include burglaries, purse snatching and bike theft as a violent crimes. This graphic stems from a story put out in a tabloid by Conservative Britains, not by the EU or UN. You still have a much better chance of getting murdered and raped in the US than the UK. and btw...most people are murdered by the way of guns in the US. U.S. 2009 murder rate: 5 per 100,000. U.K. 2009 murder rate: 1.49 per 100,000. So the question should be "Who is a dumbass for not banning guns?"
