to twist things to promote your precious guns. No, "ALL" legal gun owners are not to blame, and in fact most American gun owners are responsible and have no problem with background checks and national registration. There are a substantial number, however, of "cold dead hands" NRA apologists who would sell guns to anyone -- no questions asked, because: Second Amendment, My Rights, Freedom, and Liberty.

When you, and your Gungeon buddies own up to the fact that not all "legal gun owners" are saints, we may begin to clean up the NRA-induced epidemic of gun violence in this country that you are trying very hard to "statistically" sweep under the rug. With people like Gabby and Mark Giffords, and many other grass roots gun control activists paving the way, the tide in this country is turning against the unfettered proliferation of gunz and more fucking gunz.

News flash: guns DO kill people, because that's their designed purpose, and the ease of access to guns makes the killing inevitable.
