I was watching CNN this morning while getting ready for work and one stat really jumped out at me

From 2001 to 2013 406,000 + people have died due to gun violence. Basically they've exterminated a mid sized city.

They've killed more people in 12 years in America then America lost all together in WW2.

I'm no fan of Obama, and I think that he could have taken his executive orders further and to hell with the NRA, and the Senate and Congress and the Presidential Candidates.

A stat like that opens your eyes.

In 2014 12,576 killed and another 23,040 people were wounded. Probably less people would have been killed or wounded if you dropped a nuke on Lethbridge.

While Hillary is probably cringing at the executive order and its effect on her campaign, this is one battle and one legacy point that Obama has to dig his heels in on before he leaves office.
