???????????? Why? What's BEHIND this? It can't just be stupidity....

Barbella

Senator
The president decided to make gun control legislation a major second-term priority ... with firearm homicides at a 30-year low. Congress is pursuing a sharp increase in low-skilled immigration ... when the foreign-born share of the American population is already headed for historical highs. The administration is drawing up major new carbon regulations ... when actual existing global warming has been well below projections for 15 years and counting.

What’s more, on the issues that Americans actually prioritize — jobs, wages, the economy — it’s likely that both immigration reform and whatever the White House decides to do on greenhouse gases will make the short-term picture somewhat worse. The Congressional Budget Office’s recent analysis of the immigration bill errs on the side of optimism, but it still projects that the legislation would leave unemployment “slightly elevated” through 2020, and average wages modestly reduced. Given that similar estimates greeted the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill in 2009, it’s reasonable to assume that carbon regulations would slightly raise the unemployment rate as well.
These costs might be more acceptable in a world where Washington was also readying, say, payroll tax relief for working-class families, or measures to help the long-term uninsured. But since those ideas currently lack constituencies in the capital, we’re left with the peculiar spectacle of a political class responding to a period of destructive long-term unemployment with an agenda that threatens to help extend that crisis toward 2020 and beyond.

Those all sound like good priorities to me. Sorry you don't agree.

Well, you know....all pugs like Barble want is to focus the dialogue on jobs and the economy. They just want to get to the bottom of how this recession happened. They would never resort to diverting attention to incendiary issues or baseless accusations to avoid that discussion. All phony scandals lead to jobs and recovery.

The only discussion they have behind closed doors is whether to get behind the theory that the world is 6000 years old or that it started in January of '09.

Gun violence in US has fallen dramatically over past 20 years, Justice Dept. report finds
By Pete Williams, NBC News chief justice correspondent
Gun violence in America has fallen dramatically over the past two decades, and the number of murders committed with a firearm is down too, though guns are still by far the leading type of crime weapon, according to a new report from the Justice Department.
As for where crime guns came from, the study notes that less than two percent of convicted inmates reported buying their weapons at gun shows or flea markets. The highest number, 40 percent, said the guns came from a family member or a friend. About 37 percent said the weapons were stolen or obtained from an illegal source. The rest say the guns were bought at a retail store or pawn shop.
Murders committed with a gun dropped 39 percent to 11,101 in 2011, from a high of 18,253 in 1993, according to the report.
Other crimes committed with guns were down even more sharply — from 1.53 million in 1993 to 467,300 in 2011, a drop of 70 percent, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
 
Hahahahahahahahaha! oi81 says, "here's part of the link."

Here's the one little part you edited out. The last sentence. Inconvenient?

Around 70 percent of murders were committed with a firearm, and of those, the vast majority involved a handgun -- fluctuating between 70-80 percent.

Here's reality on gun deaths in the US. Is 2011 the best year you can use to demonstrate this wonderful "trend"?

2011 31,940 people
2010 31,328 people
2009 31,177 people
2007 31,224 people
2004 29,569 people
