Susan LaPierre’s NRA Women's Leadership Conference in Houston a Complete Success




NRA sometimes lobbyist and sometimes shadowy beard(?) wife of Wayne LaPierre raked in big bucks at her (Susan LaPierre's) NRA Women’s Leadership Conference and Auction at the exclusive River Oaks Country Club in Houston, charity money to be distributed to NRA like TAX-FREE charities like new gun development and gun education for women, kids and toddlers. All that and scheduled sexy quest speaker Sean Hannity too. omg!

One thing not discussed by all the merry NRA trophy wives in Houston at Susan’s luncheon were the statistics of death associated with free market firearms and their natural sequences of collateral damages to the stupid masses (below).

After the Luncheon, the ladies went on to do something equally really important for the Houston community and economy, they limo-ed over to a shoe sale at Neiman Marcus. lol

The following numbers tell the tale:

§  33: The average number of people murdered with a gun in the United States every day.
§  283: The average number of people shot in the United States every day.
§  40: The average number of children and teenagers shot in the United States every day.
§  10 times higher: The accidental-firearms death rate among children in the United States compared to other high-income countries.
§  31,000: The average number of homicides, suicides, and fatal accidents involving firearms in the United States every year.
§  6.9 times higher: The homicide rate of the United States compared to 22 high-income countries.
§  85 percent: The percentage of attempted suicides with a gun in the United States that result in fatalities.
§  8 times higher: The firearm suicide rate among children in the United States compared to other high-income countries.
§  500 percent: The percentage that the risk of homicide increases when a gun is present in a domestic-violence situation.
§  57 percent: The percentage of mass shootings that began with the targeting of a girlfriend, spouse, or former intimate partner.
§  63: The number of U.S. law-enforcement officers killed with firearms in 2011.
§  6.6 million: The estimated number of guns sold each year in the United States without a background check.
§  80 percent: The percentage of convicted criminals who acquired the guns used in their crimes through a private transfer.
§  90 seconds: The amount of time it takes to complete 91 percent of background checks.
§  38 percent lower: The number of women killed with a firearm by an intimate partner in states that require background checks for all handgun sales, compared to states that do not require such background checks.
§  2.5 times higher: The average export rate of crime guns in states that do not require background checks for all handgun sales at gun shows, compared to states that do require such background checks.
