do we really have an additional 4.479 billion dollars laying around. thats what is proposed in obama's fix. lets look back to 2011. fbi crime stats.... 323 rifle involved murders, 1694 knife involved murders, 496 blunt object murders, 726 personal weapons (hands,feet) murders. so to make us all safe we need to cut off all our limbs. i will be the first to say that newtown was a horrific tragic loss. but we need to react with reason not emotion. make common sense decisions reguarding our children and our freedoms. 323 deaths with rifles doesnt even break it down to type so assault style rifles are even less than that...... hello? wake up people and let your congressman know where you stand. dont let the fear mongers run the country down. make up your own mind, look up facts yourself and dont believe it because obama said it. quit being sheeple and get involved in your neighborhood at all times not just in bad times. watch out for each other and be NICE!
