Gun numbers exploded under Obama
Look at what politicians do - not what they say.
Since the school shooting in Florida, the common theme in much of the press coverage is:
- Republicans are bad
- Democrats are good
The statistics simply to not support that.
In fact the statistics show that the number of guns manufactured in the USA absolutely exploded during the Obama presidency. There is something about the policies/actions of Obama and his Democratic Party that dramatically increased the number of guns in the USA.
So beware. The Democrats may have a better PR team - but when they are in power the number of guns explode. For those that believe less guns mean less gun deaths - this is a very important and under reported statistic.

Awesome info! Truth you never see main stream.
I get a feeling the democrats do not want to solve this gun death problem.
I think they want it as a political issue they can beat the Republicans up with.
Yet it is so sad, when you look at the increase of guns manufactured under Democratic reign.
You hit the nail on head my friend. I was discussing it with my father in law and said that these poor victims and those that are left with the trauma of it all are literally nothing more than a pawn of pivot in the campaign of keeping or getting ones self in that comfy seat of theirs. Im sorry, it will never be a real solution found Im afraid because not only is it such an immense and controversial topic, the ones who are pro gun are passionate about their rights and freedoms as a law abiding citizen. The ones who oppose it in Washington have nothing more than a political stance on it for votes....there's no passion behind anything they do that isn't driven my votes/money. Prime example, the blood was not mopped off the ED's in Vegas's tragedy before good ole wind bag Clinton was posting about gun control on social media. And people are just too blind to see it. Am I mistaken or did Timothy McVeigh no demolish 1/3 of a 10 story building with little more than fertilizer and a truck. You will never, I mean never out legislate evil.
