    Barack Hussein Obama , the lead Presidential Democratic Party
    candidate, is for banning all guns in America. He is considered by those
    who have dealt with him, as a little more than just a little
    self-righteous.

    At a recent rural elementary school meeting in Sevierville, Tennessee, he
    asked the audience for total quiet. Then in the silence, he started to
    slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in
    total silence. Then he said into the microphone, 'Every time I clap my
    hands a child in America dies from gun violence.'

    Little Johnny with a proud Tennessee drawl, pierced the quiet!
    'Well, stupid, stop clapping!'

    While I see the humor in this, the referenced number of child deaths by the anti-gun crowd always pisses me off. The most cited numbers are very... um... optimistic for death count. The one I read through had crazy things like redefining children as under 21 and including gangs shooting each other and police shooting criminals.

    When you come up with a count if innocent children getting killed by guns, the number is much smaller. But then that number wouldn't get the sheeple to want to take our guns, would it?

    I highly recommend reading The Bias Against Guns by Dr. John R. Lott, JR. What many don't realize is that the majority of the numbers in those statistics mentioned by the enemies of liberty are older teenagers engaged in criminal activities; yet by definition, they are children. Another excellent point Dr. Lott makes is how much deadlier other objects are to children, like water buckets. The number in accidental deaths between firearms and water buckets is greatly disproportionate.

    Anyway, buy the book and read it. I read a few years ago and still go back to it for references.

    Ban water buckets! (this may be my new signature)
