Fans of gun control (read: citizen control) are all smiles until they’re confronted with hard facts. The truth is nothing like what they preach:
Earlier this week, Michael Bloomberg’s new anti-gun Everytown released a bogus report claiming since Newtown in December 2013, 74 school shootings have taken place. The report was so bogus, even CNN went out of the way, twice, to correct the record. More from Ed Morrissey:For the second time in two days, CNN went out of its way to debunk the Michael Bloomberg/Barack Obama claim that mass shootings have become epidemic and a “new normal” in American society. The day after CNN debunked the Bloomberg-funded Everytown claim that there were 74 Newtown-style mass shootings since Sandy Hook, Jake Tapper interviewed Northeastern University criminology professor James Alan Fox to look at the data rather than the anecdotes. Over a 40-year period, Fox concluded, mass shootings have remained flat — even while the population of the country has grown significantly over the same period.
Since we’re on the topic of “gun violence,” it’s never a bad time for a reality check. The fact is, as lawful gun sales have increased, crimes carried out with a firearm have decreased. A majority of people think violent crimes carried out with firearms have increased over the past 20 years. They haven’t, but instead have been cut in half.

Facts always get twisted when there is an agenda to serve…

WE KNEW HE WAS DRUNKS DONT KNOW NOTHING
What?
He lost 200 jobs another Obama.
The sad truth is, facts don’t matter to these idiots!
Most criminals don’t worry about gun laws and they don’t want a gun that can be traced to them. You don’t need a gun to kill several items do just as well
NOBODY EVER DOES ANY FACT CHECKING
None of the teabags do, that’s for sure.
they ywist stuff to help themselves
yeah , you can make all the laws you want . but criminals don’t follow laws .
Gun control fanatics have no use for facts
Teabggers have no use for facts, they love being led around like the sheep they are.
