What absolute drivel. Obvious this person knows nothing about guns and just makes up stats. 33000/yr? Really? This year NY, Detroit, Chicago and LA had ~1250 total and 1/2 of those were suicides NOT homicides. If you parse that out that means 31000 people were killed in all the rural or urban areas total BS. In addition, We have the 10th largest gun owners/capita in the Nation. The paper work and "hoops" to jump through did not dissuade citizens, but the only Mental Health check is if you yourself checks the box on the form. Otherwise, thanks to the Dems, it is illegal for FBI or Police to find out you're being treated for mental illness! P.S. the cities with the most draconian gun laws have the highest number of shootings, because the bad guys know you are disarmed and they can get any illegal gun they want on the street. ATF has to declare war on illegal guns. We have to pass laws that allow family and friends to get mental patients seen and taken care of.
