Obama coming after our guns?

President Barack Obama is launching an administration-wide effort to curb gun violence, underscoring the growing political consensus over tightening gun restrictions following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newton Connecticut last week.

In reality mass shootings are down in the U.S.

Grant Duwe, a criminologist with the Minnesota Department of Corrections who has written a history of mass murders in America, said that while mass shootings rose between the 1960s and the 1990s, they actually dropped in the 2000s. And mass killings actually reached their peak in 1929, according to his data. He estimates that there were 32 in the 1980s, 42 in the 1990s and 26 in the first decade of the century.

Chances of being killed in a mass shooting, he says, are probably no greater than being struck by lightning.

It's Not The Amount Of Guns, It's The Lack Of Respect For God

What has changed? The number of guns has not increased, yet over the last few months there have been more mass shootings then before. It is not the weapons it is the moral decay of society. Life does not mean anything anymore. The fact that we have taken God out of schools and our lives is the result. The fact that its ok to be naked and have sex in public yet to say the pledge or pray to God is taboo. We are living in a bizzare world now. Already the left is complaining and wanting gun control starting with liberal nut job Piers Morgan who just posted that guns must be taken away. We do not need guns taken away we need God back in our lives!
