If you pay attention to history, it's easy to find a sure way to reduce gun violence. In 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln. In 1964 a Communist - turned Democrat - killed John F. Kennedy. In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan. In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung-Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech. In 2010 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed 6 others. In 2011 registered Democrat James Holmes shot and killed 12 people in a movie theater. In 2013 registered Democrat Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people in a school. One could go on and on, but you get the point, even if the media does not. Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns! Each year thousands are murdered in Chicago. Most of the dead and their killers are African Americans. The same can be said of every large city in America. Blacks voted for Obama to the tune of 97%. They are all Democrats. SOLUTION: It should simply be illegal for Democrats to own guns. Take the guns from Democrats and you've just reduced gun crime by 97%. Reduce gun crime by 97% and the US will have better crime statistics than any other nation on the planet.
I've seen this before and there were several valid arguments to debunk it. Please don't destroy your credibility without verifying the information just because the information supports what you want to believe.
Couldn't find the article that I remember, but there's some conversation about it on the Snopes forum: http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=83968
