41. The anti gun side are famous for going after that 1%
and ignoring the rest. That's because they aren't interested in reducing crime or helping society. They simply hate gun owners and wish to strike a blow against law abiding gun owners. The feel fuzzy inside when a law abiding gun owner has to go through more trouble to buy the gun he/she wants or if he/she can't buy the desired gun. They never speak out against swimming pool accidents, vehicle collision deaths or other more significant problems.

Guns caues about 1.3% of deaths per year. That's small given that 3% of our population is either in prison, on perole or on probation at any given time.
"assault rifles" are used in about 1% of violent crime.
1% of crime guns come from gun shows.

we should call them the 1 percenters.
