Not the FBI or the Justice Department. Some say it’s too hard to track because so many cases of successful self defense go unreported. Guesstimates years ago believed the number was anywhere between 1.5 - 3 million lives were saved by gun owners per year. Last year there were 647 people killed in mass shootings. Each one being reported every 5 minutes on local and National news, including naming the suspect and their life story for all to see. This all in a country with over 330 million people. While 647 people dying in mass shootings is unacceptable there are so many things that haven’t been done to secure schools and malls from continuing to be targets. That’s what politicians should be talking about. Also, while these bleeding heart liberals continue to talk about gun violence killing children everyday, I have yet to hear a running total on local and national news about how many children died from abortions every day. Guess babies don’t count. Only 930,000 babies died from abortions last year. Hmmm. Where are the morals of these people? I do not and will never feel guilty for owning guns, with so many people who have no sense of right and wrong walking this earth.</p></blockquote><p></p>
