How far will this go?

Just some updates:

10 New bills were introduced in congress on Jan 3 (all gun related):

Dems are trying to change the filibuster in congress from 60 votes to 50; however, Sen. Reid has decided to delay this. What does this mean, it'll make it a lot easier for the Senate to pass the gun ban:

Frankenstein's bill is expected to be introduced on 22 Jan:

Senator McCain(R) is working with Sen. Levin(D) because he is mad at Rand Paul (big pro-gun advocate):

I did a little statistical research the other day, this may offend some depending on where you stand (this is not meant to offend anyone); however, if all this gun ban talk was provoked by the Newtown shooting (again, my stance doesn't change my heart breaks for the parents and families as a parent) and Frankenstein and co. want to use a tragedy such as this to push their agenda they need to look at this from all aspects. As said above statistical data can be twisted, my sources for these are the CDC, MADD and FBI website:

In 2011 there were 1.2 million abortions performed in the US, this has been a pretty steady number since 2001. That is 12 million children murdered in 10 years. Yet our government says this is okay.

In 2010 there was 10,228 alcohol-impaired-driving deaths. Yet our government doesn't address this either.

In 2011 there was 11,432 firearm related homicides or 3.7 per 100,000 of US population and yet the government calls for a ban on guns?

Some may say well it's a woman's right to have an abortion and it is because the government said so.

Some may say it's our right as an American to consume alcohol and drive, it isn't...it's a privilege.

Some may say well it our right to own guns and it is; the only one of these 3 above guaranteed by the constitution! Yet, out of these horrific statistics they only pick the one that is on paper in which our nation was built upon to attack. Something doesn't make sense.

When I think about this I often think back to this:

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ~Thomas Jefferson~

However I believe the patriots will prevail if they try to take our guns in this day and age! Granted the DHS just purchased 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition; why does a federal agency need so much ammo?
