Re: The Obstacle of an Armed Citizenry

One single example: 16 year old boy leaving the Lil Bow Wow concert. He waves at a passing car and is shot in the head. His mother shot in the shoulder and his 14 year old cousin is killed when the car crashes. 16 year old has part of his brain removed. In a coma and unlikely to recover. Assailants found and in possession of stolen gun. Yaaaay!! FREEDOM!

Draw a conclusion, not off a single example please. State something please, your use of sarcasm is confusing if it is sarcasm?

Of the 74 homicides how many involve the use of guns?, then again how many invlove the use of unregistered guns? Or guns not used by their owners? Were any of the homicides a criminal in the act of criminal activity?

Lets see the numbers. It would be helpful to list the county for us.

Now this time im not purposefully trying to aggrivate you, I'm willing to listen to your points. Just make one.
