If you chose to use the Islamic attack in Orlando as an excuse to push more gun control, you should not be allowed to vote!
This is how it works:
We are all born with certain inalienable rights. Among them is the right to life. Inherent in a right is the right to defend your rights. This includes the right to self-defense because, if you do not have a right to defend it, then you do not really have a right to your own life.

60% are suicides, that’s ~19,200
3% are accidentals, that’s 960.
4% are justified, that’s 1,280
33% are homicides, that’s 10,560 (still a horrific number)
80% of homicides are gang related, that’s 8,448.
That leaves 2,112 in a society of over 312 million people.
Which equates to 0.010256% of death by a gun across the board. And ~0.00068% of death by a gun if you don’t hang out in the hood with gangs, not planning on committing a suicide, and not planning a crime.
Clearly, mental health is a much greater problem than guns in the hands of normal law-abiding citizens.
