I find it odd that the numbers CNN charted are double those of the Department of Justice for the same years on homicides. Witch the DoJ says that on average 15,000 murders in the US almost a third (avg,4,300) are done by other means than guns. Mean while 33,000 a year are killed in or by autos, no one banning cars. 460,000 a year die of heart attacks, yet no one bans fatty foods. !.2 million unborn children are murdered each year and not only will the government not stop this, they pay for most of them to be killed. I am not making light of gun deaths, all deaths are tragic. Once you rip up the constitution you are heading down a slippery slope, especially with this putz we have trying to run this country.
