    Where is all of the media showing all of the times that a firearm saved a life, or prevented a robbery, or a rape?

    I guess that would make it hard for good ole odumbass to get his agenda through so they will not want to show any of those!!!

    The facts are that for every one death that is connected to the misuse of a firearm there are at least 100 times that a firearm prevented a murder or a rape or any other type of crime!!! Unfortunately that does not fit in to the lib/progressive/socialist anti gun agenda!!!!!
