Top Gun Stats Liberals Don’t Want You to Know
16 June 2016 by Awr Hawkins
In the wake of the Orlando terror attack–carried out by a gunman who ignored the Pulse Orlando’s gun-free designation–liberals are eagerly working to limit the Second Amendment rights of citizens throughout the country.
In so doing, they are pushing numerous gun controls that are not only theoretically troublesome but which have already been proven practical failures. Moreover, proponents of more gun control are glossing over facts and evidence that undermine claims about the AR-15 and other firearms, as well as facts and evidence regarding the manner in which guns are primarily used.
Here are the top stats liberals don’t want you to know:
Background Checks Do Not Stop High Profile Attackers–Although gun grabbers relentlessly push background checks as the solution to stopping high profile attacks on innocent Americans, the facts are that background checks do not hinder high profile attackers in the least. Alleged Orlando attacker Omar Mateen passed a background check for his guns, as did UCLA gunman Mainak Sarkar and almost every high profile attacker in the past 10 years.
Breitbart New previously published a list of attackers and alleged attackers who passed background checks for their guns, and that list stands as evidence that background checks are no hindrance to evil persons dedicated to murder. The list includes: “Sayed Farook and Tashfeen Malik (San Bernardino), Noah Harpman (Colorado Springs), Chris Harper Mercer (Umpqua Community College), Vester Lee Flangan (Virgina), John Russell Houser (Lafayette), Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez (Chattanooga), Dylann Roof (Charleston), Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi (Garland), Jared and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas), Elliot Rodger (Santa Barabara), Ivan Lopez (Fort Hood 2014), Darion Marcus Aguilar (Maryland mall), Karl Halverson Pierson (Arapahoe High School), Paul Ciancia (LAX), Andrew John Engeldinger (Minneapolis), Aaron Alexis (DC Navy Yard), Tennis Melvin Maynard (West Virginia), Wade Michael Page (Sikh Temple), James Holmes (Aurora theater), Jared Loughner (Tucson), Nidal Hasan (Fort Hood 2009), Jiverly Wong (Binghamton), Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech), Naveed Haq (Seattle), and Mark Barton (Atlanta).”
2. More People Killed With Clubs, Hammers Than Rifles–Amid the push for an “assault weapons” ban following the Sandy Hook attack, Breitbart News consulted FBI numbers for the years 2005-2011 and found that the number of murders by hammers and clubs constantly topped the number of murders by rifle. For example, In 2005 the number of murders committed with a rifle was 445, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 605. In 2006, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 438, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 618. In 2011, there was 323 murders committed with a rifle but 496 murders committed with hammers and clubs.
And it should be noted the rifles in view here include all kinds of rifles–bolt-actions, semiautomatic hunting rifles, semiautomatic target rifles, etc.–so the percentage of deaths in which a rifles like an AR-15 were used would be even smaller than the overall number quoted for the years above.
3.AR-15s Are Not “Automatic” Rifles–Although politicians like Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, celebrities like Seth MacFarlene, and too many media pundits to number have referred to the AR-15 as an “automatic” weapon during last few months, the fact remains that AR-15s are semiautomatic firearms. They shoot one round–and only one round–each time the trigger is pulled. This means an AR-15 shoots no faster than a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm handgun, or a Glock or Sig Sauer .40 caliber handgun, or an H&K or Ruger .45 caliber handgun. Claims to the contrary are either based on ignorance or are part of a focused attempt to demonize the AR-15.
4. Guns Are Legally Used For Self-Defense Purposes Approximately 760,000 A Year–Staggering isn’t it? Especially when you consider the way the mainstream media covers gun crime after gun crime, giving the impression that guns are just bad things which bad people use to hurt good people. Yet Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck has demonstrated that guns are used for defensive purposes approximately 760,000 a year in the United States.
5.Gun-Free Zones Are Killing Fields–The Orlando terror attack to place in gun-free zone. Result? Approximately 50 dead. The attack in the Umpqua Community College gun-free zone (October 2015) left 9 dead, the attack on the gun-free Chattanooga military offices (July 2015) left five dead, the attack in Fort Hood’s gun-free zone (April 2014) left 3 dead, the earlier attack in Fort Hood’s gun-free zone (November 2009) killed 13, the attack in the gun-free DC Navy Yard (September 2013) killed 12, the attack on gun-free Sandy Hook Elementary (December 2012) killed 26, the attack in the gun-free Aurora movie theater (July 2012) killed 12, and the attack on the gun-free Virginia Tech campus (April 2007) killed 32. Think about it–Eight gun-free zones, 207 firearm-related deaths.
6. More Children Under 10 Killed By Fire, Drowning Than Accidental Gun Deaths—Breitbart News previously reported Centers for Disease Control and Prevention numbers for 2010. The figures were compiled by John Lott, they showed the number of children under the age of 10 unintentionally killed in fire-related deaths was over seven times higher than the number of children killed in unintentional gun-related deaths, and the number of children killed in unintentional drowning deaths was sixteen times higher than the number of children killed in unintentional gun-related deaths. The raw numbers were as follows: Number of children killed in unintentional fire-related deaths was 262, the number of unintentional drowning 609, the number of accidental gun-related deaths was 36.

CORPORATE MEDIA INCESSANTLY HAMMERS GUN CONTROL TALKING POINT
June 20, 2016 by Steve Watson
Yet legislation would not have prevented shootings
In the wake of the Orlando shooting, the corporate TV news networks have gone into overdrive to hammer the same talking point on the desperate need for gun control legislation to be pushed, despite the fact that it is easily provable that such legislation would not have prevented the massacre.
The Washington Free Beacon put together the following compilation that highlights just how incessantly the networks have been shoving the gun control agenda down the throats of what remains of their audiences.
As highlighted in the video, when Donald Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany pointed out that the media was desperately attempting to shift the talking point away from radical Islamic terrorism and toward guns, CNN’s Don Lemon shut her down and flat denied that the media was doing anything of the sort.
“No one is ignoring extremism,” Lemon stated. “Our whole show is about Islamic extremism.”
However, the barrage of clips that follow in the video prove that McEnany is exactly correct.
In addition, Attorney General Loretta Lynch appeared on CNN’s ‘State of the Union’ Sunday and revealed that law enforcement will release transcripts Monday from the three 911 calls that Orlando shooter Omar Mateen made, but that they will omit any references to Islamic fundamentalism and ISIS.
In other words, the FBI will brush the issue of Islamic extremism under the rug, and scrub the references Mateen made out of history.
“What we’re not going to do is further proclaim this man’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda,” Lynch said. “We are not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance [to the Islamic State].”
While the media continued to obsess over gun control, one telling exchange occurred during a ABC News interview with Democratic Senator Chris Murphy that brings the entire talking point crashing down.
Murphy’s attempt to sell gun control legislation being proposed by Democrats in the Senate was utterly destroyed in seconds by ‘This Week’ anchor Jonathan Karl.
“You specifically are pushing a bill, and have been pushing a bill, and it will be voted on Monday, to close the so-called gun show loophole. Would that have done anything to stop the massacre in Orlando?” Karl asked.
While Murphy stuttered and stammered in an attempt to form a coherant response, it quickly became clear that the answer was very evidently ‘no’.
“He didn’t buy those guns at a gun show. And he would have passed the background—he did pass a background check,” Karl pointed out.
“What I’m trying to get at is that every time there’s one of these terrible tragedies, there’s these proposals,” Karl said. “Your proposal would have done nothing in the case of Orlando. It would have done nothing to stop the killing in San Bernardino, and in fact, was unrelated to the killing in Newtown. So why are we focusing on things that have nothing to do with the massacres that we are responding [to]?” the ABC man continued.
Karl is correct. In every major mass shooting in the US in recent history, the gunmen ALL passed background checks and went through the strict legal procedures to obtain firearms.
GOP nominee Donald Trump intimated Friday that he believes had people inside the Pulse club in Orlando been armed, the massacre could have been prevented.
Trump’s comments spurred the media to press pro gun groups on whether they agreed that club goers should be armed.
NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre told CBS anchor John Dickerson Sunday that the group disagrees with the sentiment that people should be allowed to carry concealed weapons in places where alcohol is being consumed.

“I don’t think you should have firearms where people are drinking,” LaPierre said. “But I’ll tell you this: Everybody, every American needs to start having a security plan. We need to be able to protect ourselves because they’re coming, and they’re gonna go for vulnerable spots, and this country needs to realize that.”
“John, I think we to look right in the face of who these people are that we’re facing,” LaPierre added. “They don’t care about the law. Laws didn’t stop them in Boston. Laws didn’t stop them in San Bernardino, where you had every type of gun control law you could have. And they didn’t stop them in Paris, where people can’t even own guns.”
LaPierre’s comments prompted Trump to clarify his position Monday as he tweeted out that he meant only security guards or employees should have had access to weapons, and not club goers.
When I said that if, within the Orlando club, you had some people with guns, I was obviously talking about additional guards or employees
