Right to Keep and Bear Arms

Nationwide gun rights rallies on 2/23. This local writer failed to mention the location of the local event. The Dayton Tea Party site has nothing on its calendar. It doesn't appear to have been updated since last summer.

Analysis shows how rare mass shootings are.

"The 934 deaths account for less than 1% of all gun-related homicides, and nearly half involve a suspect slaying his or her family members, the detailed examination shows. USA TODAY combed through FBI records and news accounts to identify 146 mass shootings since 2006 that matched the FBI definition of mass shooting, where four or more people were killed."

Yet this is supposedly the impetus for banning assault weapons. Baloney. They're banning assault weapons so Americans can't defend themselves from government stormtroopers.
