Yeah, there are 33,000 people killed with guns in the US every year but there are more than 100,000 others injured at the same time.

There aren't fewer shootings since whatever year the gunners want to cite but more of them survive albeit with a lifetime of recovery. Face it, since Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq the trauma ward has gotten pretty good at keeping gunshot victims alive.

$260 Billion a year in costs to our country.

But THEIR rights outweigh everybody else's rights.
