Emergency. What emergency?

"The case for an emergency is actually stronger for gun control than the case for the wall, in that the number of people who die every day over guns is quite real, whereas the danger over the border is not so certain.

Nearly 40,000 people were killed in shootings in 2017 in the U.S. Meanwhile, patterns for illegal immigration at the border are near the all-time low for the last four decades, and undocumented immigrants are statistically less likely than native-born Americans to commit crimes."

Drug overdoses killed more than 72,000 people in the United States last year – a new record driven by the deadly opioid epidemic, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control.

The CDC estimates that 72,287 people died from overdoses in 2017, an increase of about 10% from the year before.

A majority of the deaths – nearly 49,000 – was caused by opioids, according to the new data. And the biggest driver was the dangerous synthetic opioid fentanyl, which killed more than 29,000 people, followed by heroin and other drugs.

In recent years, Mexico has had an important role in the production of high-quality, low-priced methamphetamine (DEA, 2003a). Additionally, Mexico is the largest supplier of marijuana to the U.S. and an estimated 70% of all South American derived cocaine passes through the Central America-Mexico corridor (DEA, 2003a). Furthermore, as described in more detail below, Mexico remains a major producer of opium and a major supplier of heroin to the U.S and its own consumer markets.


The US is going to create a lot of criminals if they try to take our guns away or declare an emergency restricting our use of them. Read history? Remember prohibition, different problem, created more problems.


Outside of drugs, there's a long list of crimes that come from illegal immigration and a lot of crimes that happen to people trying to reach American soil ... from what I can tell, everyone just wants the bad stuff to end, but they don't want to do anything about it. Snap fingers. Over. It doesn't work that way. I say, if we have to be the bad guys now for a better future in 20 years, then lets do it.

5 times more people die in car crashes caused by cell phone use than die from gunshots every single day. 10 times more children.

You people want to paint all gun owners as being homicidal psychopaths. But every time I see a post about this kind of thing it appears more and more that YOU are the crazy ones. Full to overflowing with hatred, irrational, unreasonable, delusional, paranoid and obsessive.

Just like the average mass murderer.

Can you name any homicidal psychopaths who are not gun owners?

A dolphin is a whale but a whale is not a dolphin. As usual your logic is not.

But let's have a look:

Rashad Owens (drove his SUV into a crowd at a San Antonio Music festival killing 4 and injuring 25) not a gun owner.

James Alex Fields Jr (drove his car into a crowd of protesters, just convicted of 1st degree murder) Not a gun owner.

Eric Robert Rudolf (Atlanta Olymics bomber) Not a gun owner.

Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov (drove a rented truck into a crowd in NYC) Not a gun owner.

Alek Minassian (drove a U-haul truck onto crowded sidewalk in Toronto) Not a gun owner.

Chuang "Ray" Li (stabbed 4 coworkers with a knife) Not a gun owner.

Alton Nolen (Oklahoma man beheaded coworker with butcher knife) Not a gun owner.

Alex Hribal (16 yr old stabbed and slashed 20 fellow students with kitchen knife) Not a gun owner.

Julio González (set fire to the Happy Land nite club in NYC killing 54 with a gallon of gasoline) Not a gun owner.

Theodore John Kaczynski (Unibomber) Not a gun owner.

Nicholas Cruz was not a gun owner until LIBERAL POLICIES protecting the rights of a KNOWN, VIOLENT, HATE FILLED TEEN enabled him to slip through the very background checks that the LIBERALS demanded.

Do I need to go on? There a couple dozen more I could list. How 'bout this? You tell me how many of the mass shooters in this country were members of the NRA, NSSF or AGO.
