Created by C.C. on December 21, 2012

Enact a federal ban on the sale of all handguns to private citizens.

Handguns are the cause of more deaths in the United States than all other types of firearms combined.

The massacre in Sandy Hook was horrible and assault rifles should be banned, but more people are killed everyday in this country by handguns. Last year handguns killed: 48 in Japan, 8 Great Britain, 34 Switzerland, 52 Canada, 21 Sweden, 10,728 in the United States.
