Less than 5% of murders take place with legally obtained weapons why won't Obama go after the CRIMINALS?

That is a heap of statistics. I wish your link showed a link to the actual study, instead of interpreting the study for us. If 40% of guns were obtained illegally, that means 60% were obtained legally.

The importance of including the gun show data escapes me. Gun shops or gun shows, that 60% got them legally.

Because statistics on gun crimes were not being shared among the states and federal government until Obama passed an executive order earlier this year requiring those statistics to be better tracked. Republicans have been passing laws that make it more difficult to study gun crime statistics since the mid-1990's. Making inferences from unreliable statistics is illogical.

That won't stop conservatives from exploiting incomplete studies to make their illogical claims, though.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
