Murder is also on the rise in Washington, D.C., where gun laws also are quite strict, and haven’t changed yet despite the impending ruling in Heller. Another inexplicable mystery!

Larry,
You assume that not having a gun would somehow stop the killer. That’s like saying there’d be no suicide if there were no pills.
What a stupid argument Bart (apologies for coming across so strong like that, Bart. Nuthin personal).
HOW are these murder victims in D.C. dying?! Cyanide poisoning? Being punched in the nose repeatedly? No—IT’S GUNS! HELLO!!!!!!!!
More blacks are violently killed each year in the US than US soldiers in Iraq over six years. (See Miami Herald article.) If 30K US troops have been wounded over six years, how many blacks have been periferal damage in the inner cities? Yet the DEMs live in denial. Apparently it is OK to kill US blacks but not muslims. Hmmm.
Drugs are a scourge that threaten to destroy this country. We give lip service to a “War on Drugs” but nothing ever changes, does it ?
Not the south, libs, cons, blacks, too many guns, too few guns, too many bullets, parole, poverty…..Drugs….
Yeah bob…now jump forward 150 years and look at which political party runs the metro areas where those gold star murder rates occur. And ummmm….look at the ethnic makeup of those areas with regards to who’s running the gov’ts and who’s doing the shootin!
It would seem todays democrats are faaaaar more effective at killing black folk than ol’ Jeffy Davis, George Wallace or Jimmy Crow ever was!
I think we might need to swap colors since it’s the blue areas that are soaked in blood while it’s the red areas where people seem able to go grocery shopping without getting their heads blown off.
This is true progress. Ban guns so people start slicing each other up. Ban knives so people start whacking each other with hammers. Ban hammers so people start hitting each other with sticks….
Pretty soon we’ll be back to living in caves. Except for the poor, who will be outside the cave waiting to rob you with a hand full of their own poop.
Unlicensed, of course.
Yes, and 13 of the 25 top metro areas in crime rate are located in the former states of the Confederacy. These states have more God believers,church attendance,
anti-abortion sentiment, gay bashing proclivities than the rest of the country.
Based on the aforementioned truisms, God , if he or she exists, must have sent Jessee James, not Jesus, to die for our sins.
But I do believe in owning guns. It keeps the right wing nut jobs away.
