People kill people. And monkeys kill people, if they have a gun.

The tragedy in China reminds us in the end it is people who kill people. It also reminds us how limiting weapons of mass death ( automatic weapons?) limit mass death. How many people would've died if this guy had an automatic weapon?

I range several times a week. I carry 45 rounds of .40 cal when on duty. I shoot well. I don't need an automatic weapon. I'm not a monkey.

It sounds better like this IMHO:

"Guns kill people like spoons made Rosie O'Donnel fat."

Shorter, and less... legal sounding.

Oh horse crap we all know that guns do kill people...the democrats told us so. Guns can walk around and shoot at whoever they feel has "dissed" them and they get really pissy here in Birmingham, AL. So much so that guns alone have killed around 50 people so far this year in Birmingham, AL.

BTW here is the crime data comparing Birmingham, AL vs NY City for 2006. Note the differences in population and the crime rate on murders per 100,000 people. Now this doesn't happen in 99% of the greater metropolitan area of Birmingham; it is seriously limited to a handful of areas within the Birmingham, AL city itself.

I woud wager that of those 50 people killed in Birmingham none of the guns used were purchased legally by the murderers and in fact that 95% or greater were stolen.

I would like to see that data correlated with rounds expended.

I think, with a bit of encouragement, the ratio's could be improved.

I would not take that wager because I am almost 100% positive that you are correct sir. The word on the street here is whatever you need you can get cheap. Anything from Soviet or Chicom AK's to current US Military M4's, M9's, etc... Lots of corruption in the local city and county government and they "loose" weapons all the time.

The rate would be higher if they didn't hold the guns sideways.

I don't know Lazs. It all depends on what part of the group you start shooting at and at what point you try to aim at as the car starts the turn onto the street.
