" found this on a blogish type thing, not sure about it's validity but they have no reason to lie. Whats everyone else think about this?
I don't buy it. 1. No sources were cited. 2. The term "gun control" seems to be very vague. To what extent was gun control taken to? 3. It does not stay who or why the people were murdered.
It has nothing to do with gun control. Its politics that cause those deaths. At any given time in history, there's always black markets where those things can be purchased.
what would have happened if there was no gun control....? How many people killed in this world because of guns? i bet its more than 56 million
My thoughts about the OP? I think there's a reason why the post used "rounded up and exterminated". The difference between a massive organized genocide and armed robbery is quite enormous, around the size of an entire solar system. I am assuming that it is the government which put the gun control in place, and the very same government which led the extermination/mass killing. So unless the OP is proposing an anarchic over all governments around the world, this post is pointlessly using the buzz word "gun control". I concur on the count of number 2, but I kind of assumed I am in the know for number 1 and 3 in a few of those cases. Probably a lot of collateral damage in wars with fire arms... -rolleyes
