People say lowering taxes on people would create less GDP. It grew.
Actually, it's the other way around, but that's another thread.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,
many constitutional law professors maintain that the above phrase means....
that because the concern in the late 1700s was over King George of England sending more troops to try to collect taxes that the new United States had to be ready to round up citizens who owned guns so they could be called back to form militias as needed to fight off the Britsh

More guns don't guarantee more gun violence.
I think it's pretty clear the opposite is true. As gun ownership increases, violent crime decreases. And thanks for the stats.

Not so sure it is clear at all. Those are national statistics. If you look at gun ownership state by state and see what the correlation is between the murder rate and gun ownership you might be surprised.

Jody, can't answer that for you. All of these mass shooting are done by very mentally ill human being, no is is trying to take away anyone right to own gun (I have two). To me certain gun/weapons need to banned and background checks should be done on all seeking to purchase guns/weapons.

A militia /mᵻˈlɪʃə/[1] generally is an army or other fighting unit that is composed of non-professional fighters, citizens of a nation or subjects of a state or government who can be called upon to enter a combatsituation, as opposed to a professional force of regular, full-time military personnel -wikipedia

Interesting statistics above.
However, it seems to me that while overall gun deaths in crimes like drugs, robberies etc. have decreased, the use of guns as a tool in mass murder rage orgies and a tool in political expression has greatly increased.
Theater shootings, school shootings = rage orgy
Orlando, Dallas = political orgy
I have no statistics, merely my sense of where we are headed.
Something has changed, and it's not good. To blame this on Obama is all deflection and fantasy as far as I'm concerned. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first mass shooting against white cops specifically because they were white cops.
The fear lords love to wring their hands and cry about Mexicans and Arab terrorists, but we don't even need them, we're doing an excellent job of slaughtering each other already.

Pardon my Drive by. Packing for some much needed climbing.
All this sh#t is horrible. Cops making mistakes, Cops killing people unwarranted, and the Black Lives matters bullsh#t.
Our society is f*#ked! This all started with Ferguson.
We have a god damn leader who refuses to call a spade a spade. Since then this movement has only increased, and tensions have risen. We have f*#king Islamic terrorist and black thugs doing stupid sh#t and instead of calling a spade a spade, we call it something else. Pour black thug......... Pour non Islamic terrorist gay dude......... For f*#k sake. Maybe the guy in the car was unjust..... It happens. It sucks...... But, the good majority are flat out thugs.
Here you go........,
I don't give one flying rats ass if a Thug is gunned down. White or black!!!!!!!
This hole media crazed black lives matter, race bating bullshit is what lead to this.
You can thank the media and the president for creating a notion that thugs lives matter.
Now we get thugs thinking they are rightfully justified in shooting innocent people.
Sh#t needs to end. Thugs are thugs! If they happen to be black, Muslim, white, I don't give a sh#t. If a cop pulls you over and you don't comply chances are you're a thug.
The world is better without you.
Had to vent! Sh#t pisses me off sorry!
Worth repeating and I'll throw in thugs in wife beaters, Pendletons, suits, uniforms, board shorts, cartels, militia, and radical religion.
Oh, and thank you Dallas for opening the door for robotic ground delivery of bombs. Coming soon to your local cafe or town parade a la Radio Shack.
The definition of arms has changed and needs an update.

Meanwhile, I smell like a f*#king skunk. My dog got sprayed last night when I took the kids to grandma's. Oh if only someone with a gun was there to save us. Or, maybe a tomato bath.
We had to move the cat dish in from the carport last week do to the daily visits by a small skunk. I'm concerned about my catch it alive/relocation process may end up stinking.

I like to keep it civil, but sorry pyro, you're an idiot.
Obama didn't import blacks to this country and create abuse of another race on an industrial scale.
He didn't create the KKK or lynch mobs. He didn't create segregation, whites only businesses, water fountains, swimming pools etc. WE THE WHITE PEOPLE did that.
He didn't create the Nazi party or their mentality.
In your mind everything was peachy until that uppity negro took over. In your mind everything was peachy as long as blacks kept their heads down and stayed quiet.
What an ass.
Edit for pyro's schooling:
Stigmatism, another word for astigmatism, is defined as a condition of the eye or lens where rays of light from a single point do not focus upon on a single point on the retina.
An example of stigmatism is when the cornea of the eye is shaped like a football, not round as it should be, causing rays of light to focus in front of or behind the retina.

The Democrat party built that. I had nothing to do with it. And Democrats are still abusing the black community.
In their silly notion of 'helping', they have created a class doomed to poverty. Look at places where Dems have owned cities for decades, they still suck, and most are worse than ever. Detroit and Chicago come immediately to mind.
There is a problem in the black community. It's out of control crime. Don't want to talk to the police, I don't either really. That's why I do everything I can to follow the law.
And when I'm confronted by police, I'M RESPECTFUL OF THEIR COMMANDS, even when I think I'm innocent.
Some of you seem close to suggesting that police officers like shooting black suspects. Just because they're black. That is not even worthy of comment, it's ridiculous.

Thugs and criminals whine about police killing their ilk.
Too bad...the cops are doing the right thing!
Thugs and junkies feel too comfortable in US cities, time to declare a real war on them.
Cities like SF frankly need tanks rolling through some neighborhoods and curfew, to bring order.

Huff post is a notorious lies and brainwash engine, how can someone even open that online cesspool.
New York mayors sure have some experience handling thugs, who used to try to overrun the city in the past...they were served right, eventually.
