Absurd Gun-Control quotes from Politicians



Here is a list of absurd quotes from gun-control proponents about the Second Amendment, gun violence, and guns that confirm, once again, that thinking before emoting is easier said than done.





  1. “The Second Amendment only protects the people who want all they can have. The rest of us, we’ve got no Second Amendment. What we are supposed to do?”

 Rep. Louise Slaughter.

Slaughter blamed the Second Amendment for violent crime, saying “Americans aren’t safe anywhere” and gun control “has to be done” to protect citizens from themselves and their constitutionally guaranteed individual right to own a firearm.



2. “Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the  door.”

Vice President Joe Biden.




3.  “We have federal regulations and state laws that prohibit hunting ducks with more than three rounds. And yet it’s legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines.”  Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California).





4. “We lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence.” 
Terry McAuliffeю



5. “…it is easier for a 12- or 13-year-old to purchase a gun, and cheaper, than it is for them to get a book.”

Barack Obama






6.  “No matter what you do -guns, no guns- it doesn’t matter. You have people that are mentally ill. And they’re gonna come through the cracks. And they’re going to do things that people will not even believe are possible.”

Donald Tump

Many people in America at the time believed government

Six Steps That We Can Take To Reduce America's Gun-Violence Problem

Gun Violence in the U.S.: 6 Real Ways We Can Help Reduce It 1.     Buying a gun should be like buying a ca r The reduction in U.S. motor-vehicle deaths over the past 50 years is one of the great triumphs of public-health intervention. Safer cars, stronger seat-belt laws and fewer teenage drivers have helped reduce car fatalities, which dropped from 33.5 deaths per billion miles travelled in 1975 to 11.8 in 2016. Gun deaths have increased steadily since 2009 and are now nearly as lethal as traffic accidents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

To start, they can put in effect more rigorous requirements for owning firearms. “For the most part, it is much easier to be a legal gun owner in America than it is to be a legal driver,” says David Hemenway, director of the Injury Control Research Center at the Harvard T.H.
