“I find it interesting that the MSM-Democrats think we can get rid of 400 million guns in our country, but can’t get rid of 40 million illegal aliens in our countr”


Keep in mind that you can take guns apart and bury them, in order to hide them, without any adverse consequences. I don’t think that it’d work out so well with illegals.

obviously not enough politicians, for if we did the citizens would not be dying for your failed policy.

To all all politicians until your family members are dying you do not have a say, until that time stfu. You have no skin in the game.

Morons are elected to office, pretty face pretty ass, you aholes (politicians) are disconnected from reality.
Power is fleeting, money cannot go thru the next life.

He didn’t make this comment on his way to a Mensa meeting, for sure.

Kathy Griffin and Shakespeare in the Park show you don’t need guns to kill Republicans. Also bombs. “I have thought a lot about blowing up the White House.” In New York City, they had a parade for a bomb-throwing anarchist on Puerto Rico day this year.

That’ll put an end to gun control and welfare recipients, for sure!

The narrative will be to spin it against the GOP.

Probably by Friday, they will have it be the fault of Trump, the NRA, and the Russians.

He meant to say, “I believe we should kill 93 million people a day. Soon we would not need guns.”

... Add that to Pelosi’s claim ...

Which we can add to another Democrat Luminary, "No Controlling Legal Authority" Albert Gore, who demonstrated his deep science knowledge in 2009 when claiming "[be]cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot ...". Granted this was on Conan O'Brien's show and they were discussing geothermal heat for power, BUT another example of hyperbole by 'Democrat Expert'!

FYI: Sol's surface Temp is about 5500°C with Core Temps there at the stellar fusion levels of 15 million°C. The Earth, on the other hand, is guesstimated to max out at about the same as Sol's surface in the 5k+°C region. The highest Earth surface temperature on record is 58°C (Libya/Sahara 1922).

While giving a 1995 speech on the House floor on the evils of slavery, Congressman Major Owens said that “there were 200 million people who died just coming across” the Atlantic during the slave trade. He then elaborated, “So great was the number of people thrown overboard that it altered the ecology of the ocean; the sharks, even now, follow after ships on a trail, seeking the flesh that was thrown overboard in all those years.”

He probably invented the count on the million man march along with what nine inches really is.

Yeah but saying 93 MILLION was so self satisfying and dramatic

correct. About 7 people per 100,000 per year die because of the use of firearms in suicide. (This is about half of suicides.)

About 3 people per 100,000 per year die because of the use of firearms in homicide. (This is about 60 percent of homicides.)

As to how many of these homicides involving guns are justifiable homicides is another question. This is because the FBI statistics are based on reported crimes, and don’t reflect determinations that reported homicides are actually justifiable homicides. Furthermore, the FBI don’t even include most justifiable homicides. It seems fair to say that lives saved with the use of guns is at least half the number of lives taken with the use of firearms in homicides.

So, make that 1 or 2 lives lost per 100,000 per year due to homicides in which firearms were used, net of lives saved because of the use of homicides.

This simple analysis reveals that the predominant loss of life associated with the use of guns is suicides. And, removing guns will simply result in people killing themselves some other way. To paraphrase Archie Bunker, “Would rather they threw themselves out of windows?”

He responded that he meant 93, not 93 million.

I don't care if he corrected himself. If he said it, he said it. We need to hang this on McAuliffe and all the other gun-grabbing dolts. Hopefully, someone has the video clip of his pronouncement so it can stay in the public consciousness for a long time!

Just taking a page from the DNC/Alinsky playbook.

No wonder we have an ammunition shortage. And here I thought it was because of government manipulation. Silly me!

Should take about four days to depopulate the entire country.

Don't forget all 57 states. Locating the final seven may take a few more days.

Yes, he really said that....and more, speaking on TV live to reporters.

The people of Virginia should be embarrassed to have this moron as their governor.
