17. We aren't going to let the actions of the .5% drive policy.

Bad people will always have guns. This is not an excuse to take them away from law-abiding people.

Every year there are about 1,300,000 violent crimes in the United States. About 26% of those are committed using firearms - roughly 340,000 firearm-related violent crimes.

There are 40-80 million firearm owners in this country. That means that 99.15% - 99.58% of firearm owners aren't involved in firearm-related violent crimes every year.

We aren't going to let the actions of less than 1% of firearm owners drive punitive policies against the rest of us.

Occupy the Second Amendment!
