Gun homicides and gun ownership listed by country. Another graph lists death by firearms, 2007. Just a quick reference to have handy on this statistics. I am not making a statement on gun ownership, but wanted this post for future research.

Surprised and any of this date?
Mexico, Brazil and Russia?
States, I am surprised with, going to look at the gun Laws and reciprocate.
Obama has been great for gun sales. With Obama he will use any tragedy for self interest.

Mexico urges U.S. to review gun laws after Colorado shooting July 22, 2012
( wow, Mexico imagine that, maybe b/c of Holder and F&F, that just disappeared from the radar of Congress?)
Mexican President Felipe Calderon condemned U.S. gun laws as “mistaken” and urged Washington to review them after a shooter killed 12 people and injured more than 50 others at a U.S. movie theater on Friday.
In comments posted on his Twitter account on Saturday, Calderon offered his condolences to the United States after a gunman went on the rampage with an assault rifle at a midnight premier of the new Batman film in Aurora, Colorado.

Trying to make it a campaign issue, I want the amino control, you cannot take away ppl guns, 2nd amendment.
Calls for gun control stir little support
“We don’t want sympathy. We want action,” Dan Gross, president of the Brady campaign said Friday as President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney mourned the dead.
Ed Rendell, the former Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, was more emphatic than many in the early hours after the shooting. “Everyone is scared of the NRA,” he said on MSNBC. “Number one, there are some things worth losing for in politics and to be able to prevent carnage like this is worth losing for.”
In 1994, Congress approved a 10-year ban on 19 types of military-style assault weapons. Some Democrats quickly came to believe the legislation contributed to their loss of the House a few months later.
Five years later, Vice President Al Gore cast a tie-breaking Senate vote on legislation to restrict sales at gun shows.

A friend’s conversation last night, when Obama loses in Nov, there will be riots like America has never seen. He is acquiring a gun permit for it.
thoughts?
There are so many Americans that are prepared for the his loss. I don’t think going out of your home would be wise, especially in large cites or ethnic diverse communities. Fill your fridge and honker down. Don’t let yourself be a statistic. 😉
OK, Let’s Debate Gun Control!
A second Obama term could kill the Second Amendment.
But there’s a third branch of government, and it is the reason why a second Obama term could prove deadly to the Second Amendment. Obama’s professions of support for the right to keep and bear arms sounds awfully familiar. They sound, in fact, a lot like this: “Like you, I understand that how important the right to bear arms is to many, many Americans. . . . I understand the individual right fully that the Supreme Court recognized in Heller.”
That was Sonia Sotomayor, Obama’s first appointee to the Supreme Court, answering a question at her 2009 confirmation hearing from Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, chairman of the Judiciary Committee. She was referring to District of Columbia v. Heller, which astonishingly was the first Supreme Court decision ever to recognize this fundamental right. Sotomayor’s statement was a careful one. She did not say that she agreed with Heller or even that she would respect it as precedent. She could easily turn out to “understand” it and wish to wipe it from the books.
And she did. In 2010 the court decided McDonald v. Chicago, which applied the “incorporation” doctrine to the Second Amendment–that is, it held that the amendment, coupled with the 14th, forbids states as well as the feds from encroaching on the right to keep and bear arms. Sotomayor (along with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg) joined Justice Stephen Breyer’s dissent, which flatly asserted: “The Framers did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self-defense.”
McDonald, like Heller, was decided 5-4. One of the dissenters, Justice John Paul Stevens, has since retired from the court. His successor, Justice Elena Kagan, has not yet had occasion to cast a vote in a gun-rights case (and as solicitor general she did not file a brief in McDonald). But we are going to go out on a limb and guess that she agrees with Ginsburg, Breyer and Sotomayor that the Second Amendment is essentially a nullity.

No matter what the Gov’t. says or does, if a person wants a gun he will find someone to buy from. If someone wants to buy illegal drugs, they will find a seller. The drug laws don’t stop the flow and buying of drugs, the same will be with guns.
I think he is right. I won’t give up my guns until everyone and that includes criminals. Can you imagine living on the border without a gun? NO. If someone comes into my house without being invited, they will not walk out.

Connecticut’s gun laws are tougher than the national average. Consumers need permits to buy handguns. Assault-style weapons are banned as is the possession of bullet-proof vests. Another law, adopted about 10 years ago, lets neighbors who are suspicious of the activities of other neighbors to file police reports. Also, people with protective orders filed against them are prohibited from owning firearms.
