We have a crime problem, not a gun problem. We have 12-15 million illegal immigrants in this country. We have a judicial system that lets criminals walk with a slap on the wrist and refuse to enforce laws that they disagree with.

But also consider these facts: We also kill 3000 people in the womb every day in the name of personal "choice." We have a president who refused to vote against infanticide and billionaire "philanthropists" who are more interested in funding birth control than legitimate healthcare. We have a healthcare law that makes birth control free but doesn't provide for a single new doctor, hospital or drug. All the criminals are doing are applying the same values in a more violent fashion.

A work in progress.

• The United States is #1 in the world for gun ownership (88 per 100 people).

• The United States is not even in the top 10 in the world for violent crimes (466/100K). For comparison, the United Kingdom, which has strict gun ownership laws, is #1 (2,034/100K people).

• The United States is #28 in the world for gun murders (2.97 per 100K people). In 1994, this rate was 6 per 100K.

• It is illegal to own a weapon that fires bullets in a continuous stream in the United States, unless you are a member of the military and receive special training.

• From 1995-2011, the number of "military-style" rifles in the United States rose by 2.5 million. The murder rate during the same period fell 48% to a 48-year low.

• The following cause more fatalities in the United States than firearms: other weapons (1.5x), unintentional falls (2.2x), drug abuse (2.3x), unintentional poisoning (2.8x), motor vehicle accidents (3x), alcohol abuse (9x), unintentional injuries (10x), medical errors (17x). Knives and other blunt objects kill 8.5x as many people as "military-style" rifles.

There is definitely something very wrong in our culture, and it isn't in the responsible gun culture. There are actually two gun cultures here—one of which promotes peace through responsible gun use, and one which is in a perpetual state of war. Our gun problems aren't the fault of the former. And the people who feed the latter refuse to take responsibility for their role in it; they are more likely to blame responsible gun owners for their woes than others in their community.

In 1994, an American youth was slightly more likely to be victimized with a knife than with a gun. In 2010, American youth who were victims of a serious violent crime were 6x more likely to have been attacked by a perpetrator wielding a knife than one wielding a gun.

In 2011, 565 children were killed by guns. In that same year, 1.2 million children were killed by abortion.

The rate of "serious violent crime" committed against youth by a perpetrator using a firearm dropped 95% from 1994 to 2010.
