I was over reading an fun article on the Huffington Post about Hilary's supposed new found gun love. That site has a very thriving posting community in the form of comments, mostly by Dems. Most of the gun related posts weren't too horrible but a few people were venemous. So I posted this:
I decided this was a good place to actually do something besides preach to the choir on THR (though I am an evil Dem).

"Guns prevent more violent deaths than they cause. Some stories don't make the evening news. The slient majority is all the women in dark alleys who didn't get raped because they dissuaded their attacker with a gun.
Tragically, about 30,000+ US citizens (CDC) are killed a year in gun deaths... but it isn't all grim news. Guns prevent at least 1.5 million potentially violent crimes a year (according to the Clinton Justice department). The vast majority of those guns were unfired.
Is gun control really worth jeopardizing all the other ammendments?"
