32. But the FBI reports show which weapons are used in crimes

they are the official government statistics on crime in America.

So you cannot say that the NRA is influencing the US government's official crime statistics. Which means you can tell what weapons are being used for violent crime.

The stuff you posted does not mean you do not have access to accurate information. Now that I have shown you where that accurate information is, you can study it and make informed decisions.

Btw - please don't bring up the head of the ATF again until you can find a link that supports your recollection of what he said.

Especially with all of the hatred and rudeness in today's America. And all of the crazy talk all of RKP5637 Dec 2012 #1
