The message needs to be that gun control doesn't work. Gun's aren't bad isn't a fight we can win.

No I'm not. Check the right-hand column. This is the exact data from the photo.

They used the number for murders by rifle, rather than all firearms. Which I think is ultimately fair, given that what's to be banned is likely rifles, but note that handguns have a much higher number and they are probably going to try and limit magazine capacity there as well, against which there is not quite as clear an argument unless you look at the trends over time.

Our side cherry picks data from time to time as well. I'd prefer we aren't able to be legitimately accused of that, even if it's unintentional.

ETA: I've circled the relevant numbers:


That image was supposed to be just for rifles, not all guns. There is a lot more talk about banning certain semi-auto rifles than handguns right now.

Not a popular topic, but valid.

That's the closest I have ever come to someone murdering me.

When my mon was pregnant with me, her Doc told her I "wasn't a viable fetus" and recommended "starting over".

She found a new Doc shortly after that.

I was born perfectly healthy. Now I'm 25 years old, an engineer, father of two (first one out of wedlock, so I know how hard it can be), husband, and firearms enthusiast.

I prefer to be an antagonist so I post stuff like this;

So let me get this straight. My guns are bad because they *could* (let's say 1 in 16 trillion chance [hey the same as the national debt!]) be used to kill people, but the abortion clinics that slaughter children every day are okay because that's someone's choice? Gotcha, I guess that's why I'm not a liberal

Nope. The sheep will be sheep no matter what. If Obungo interrupted an overtime tie in the superbowl dressed up as Hitler with Pandoras box in one hand and an aborted fetus in the other teling everyone that were all being sent off to FEMA camps people would still vote for him


With the impending gun legislation, WE ALL (may) become sheep whether we want to or not...

I got excited about this one, but looking at the data linked the numbers leave off firearms other than rifles.  It would work if you're going directly against AWB (or long gun ban), but fails for gun control in general.  If I say anything at all in a public forum I want to make sure my statements are bulletproof so to speak.

Haha! That's a good one! Have you ever had a logical debate with a liberal? Have facts and logic ever mattered to them??? We're using "bumper sticker" slogans because that's all they understand anyway as evidenced by they way they vote.

I like it, but be aware it is somewhat misleading:  (ETA: From the link in the photo)

http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss309/tbonifie/gun-deaths_zps0dc73743.jpg

ETA2: I think the more interesting thing to note is that, on the whole, murder appears to be on the decline since 2007.

 

The URL in the photo indicates that it is referring to 2011 statistics. You are showing a different time frame.

 

No I'm not.  Check the right-hand column.  This is the exact data from the photo.

To be fair, that's why they include a photo of rifles.

I took that to be the point (murders where a rifle was used), not that they were stating murders by all firearms.




Which makes it relevant in an "assualt weapons" ban, since handguns aren't "assault weapons".


Are you sure about that? In the run up to the 94 ban, a statistic was pushed about the high number of cops killed by assault weapons. It turned out they included cop suicides where the cops used their issue weapons because the guns could use a magazine capable of holding over 10 rounds
