Unfortunately, most liberals are guided by their feelings and emotions instead of facts and logic. When pointing out to them the statistics on how 2.5 million crimes per year are prevented by handguns, they cling to the "34,000 children are killed by guns each year". Pointing out that the "children" in these statistics are as old as 19 and this includes gang-on-gang murders, they still cling to the "how terrible that so many children are being killed" emotion.

Much like the health care bill. We who oppose national health care are the evil ones because we're selfish in wanting to keep our own money and not give it to people who would otherwise die in the street because they can't afford medical care. Never mind that nobody is dying in the street due to no medical care, that emergency rooms are forbidden to deny treatment due to not being able to pay, or that under the bill passed yesterday an insurance policy for a family of four that is purchased outside the public exchange will cost $15,000 in 2016. If the poor can't afford insurance now, how can they afford that? Oh, yeah, and if you don't have insurance, you can go to jail for 5 years and/or be fined $250,000. This is all according to the Congressional Budget Office.

If these facts don't sway liberals, nothing will.
