Only three? Two of those people shouldn't have died in the first place!

On a side note.. there are a lot of countries that are more dangerous than the USA. Here's a link to the World Homicide rate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._homicide_rate

Honduras heads the list a 91.2 per 100,000 people. The USA sits at 4.2
Canada is at 1.6. Mexico sits at 22.7 (no wonder people are afraid to vacation there) and Russia is at 10.7

haha point being?..... that these shooters may not only be crazy, but have little accuracy as well? Doesnt sound good when in a public place...


I realize an assault rifle was probably extreme, but the same argument goes for hand guns (which by all accounts are quite easy to acquire). Why do you need a hand gun? There is no purpose for a handgun other than for shooting targets or other people. There's literally no other reason to have one. Obviously theres the protection angle which is kind of the base for the whole thing, people will argue that if someone had a gun they could take this guy down or whatever. But if the gun laws werent so easy to get around in the first place you wouldn't need that line of thinking. I dunno I obviously dont have the answers. You're right, its a pretty unique situation.

How does somebody use Chicago as a result of a "gun free city" and at the same time blame gun violence on a open mexican border.

If guns can come across a border then what the heck do you think happens in Chicago?

I just use that as a reference since Chicago and Illinois you're not allowed to have a weapon.
