The College Politico recently posted Gun Facts You Need to Know “From the RIGHT Side of Campus”. If you click on the site , you can read the source of all these FACTS about Guns in the United States:

270 Million civilian owned guns – this comes directly from the most recent Small Arms Survey which is conducted by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies and studies civilian ownership of guns throughout the world.

89 civilian owned guns per 100 residents – this also comes directly from the most recent Small Arms Survey.

I should note that, given the tens of millions of gun purchases since Obama was elected in 2008, these numbers need to be updated.

The US is #1 in the world when it comes to gun ownership – this too comes directly from the most recent Small Arms Survey.

The US doesn’t even crack the top 25 in gun murder rate – this comes from information provided by the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime and compiled by the Guardian.

77.3% of justifiable homicides committed by civilians involved a gun – this statistic comes from the FBI’s most recent uniform crime report which states that 201 of the 260 total justified homicides in 2011 involved a firearm.

99.2% of justifiable homicides committed by police involved a gun – this statistic also comes from the FBI’s most recent uniform crime report which states that 390 of the 393 total justified homicides in 2011 involved a firearm.

2.5 Million incidents of defensive gun use per year in the US – This stat comes from the National Self-Defense Survey which was conducted by Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz in 1995.

Rifles were involved in fewer homicides in 2011 than blunt objects, fists, and knives – This stat is taken from the FBI’s most recent uniform crime report which states that there were 323 homicides involving rifles in 2011 while there were 496 involving blunt objects, 728 involving fists, and 1694 involving knives.

1.5x more homicides were committed with blunt objects than rifles - This stat is also taken from the FBI’s most recent uniform crime report which states that there were 323 homicides involving rifles in 2011 while there were 496 involving blunt objects.

2.2x more homicides were committed with fists than rifles - This stat is also taken from the FBI’s most recent uniform crime report which states that there were 323 homicides involving rifles in 2011 while there were 728 involving fists.

2.6% of murders in 2011 involved rifles (including AR-15s) - This stat was also compiled using the FBI’s most recent uniform crime report which states that there were 323 homicides involving rifles in 2011 while there were 12,664 total homicides that year.

Progressives are not the loyal opposition, which existed in our two party system for so long. They are subversives who are out to fundamentally change America, Obama’s words not mine. Their primary tactic is distributing Progressive Propaganda via intentionally false and distorted talking points.

The White House supplies the daily talking points and the majority of both the broadcast, print and entertainment media run with it. MSNBC is the primary broadcast outlet of the Obamanation. The liberal fascists among us, pick it up and distribute the collective group think via social media, the education systems in every state and word of mouth.

Don’t ever underestimate the power of propaganda. Never forget that Hitler was overwhelmingly elected and supported by the voters because of the successful propaganda machine in Nazi Germany.



“I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” -George Mason Co-author of the Second Amendment during Virginia’s Convention to Ratify the Constitution, 1788
