Another major school shooting today ... Newtown, Conn

The only way to reduce gun related violence is to have more citizens armed in more places. We need to do away with these ridiculous 'gun free zones' that are magnets for mentally disturbed individuals. We need to allow the people to defend themselves and others - this is America and Americans use guns.

Americans use guns

They wanted a system where the federal government nearly always had to use the militia as their main source of strength.

ATLANTA (AP) - Authorities say a woman bumped into a scooter with her car at a central Georgia gas station, leading to a brief burst of gunfire that claimed her life.

Macon police say she was shot to death Tuesday afternoon, in what they describe as a random encounter.

Police say 65-year-old Linda Hunnicutt's car bumped into a scooter operated by a 73-year-old man.

Police say Hunnicutt stepped out of her Buick Lucerne and briefly exchanged words with him. They say he drew a gun and shot her once in the chest.

Police say the suspect, Frank Louis Reeves, was apprehended in the parking lot. He was being held on a murder charge at the Bibb County Jail. Police didn't know whether he has an attorney, and jail records do not list one

One dead, 6 others shot at Majestic Sports Bar on New Year's Day
Jan 02, 2013

COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -
A night of celebrating for many turned deadly early Tuesday morning. Shots rang out at Majestic Sports Bar on Cusseta Road in Columbus at about 2:30 a.m. after ringing in the New Year.

Investigators said two shootings took place at the crowded bar, one inside and the other outside. In all, seven people were shot.

One victim, 24-year-old Charles Foster Jr., succumbed to his injuries an hour later at the Medical Center, according to Muscogee County Deputy Coroner Charles Newton.

Foster, a Columbus-native, was shot once in the left upper chest. His body will be sent to Atlanta for autopsy Thursday.

Lt. Joyner said multiple shots were fired inside the bar, "…at least 12 to 15 shots." Outside, a man was shot while sitting inside a car.

The victims were taken to the Medical Center with non life-threatening injuries. Authorities told News Leader 9 three were treated and released, and two sustained injuries that required surgery.

Witnesses told police, the inside shooter was a black man with a low haircut, wearing a brown work suit.

Another man was seen running from the scene with the shooter. Police believe the second man to be the outside shooter.

At this time, police do not have the suspect in custody. They are also unsure of a motive.

Perhaps the NRA should suggest that every American wear bullet-proof body armor when they leave their home....

YES. Well said

Is it the background check used in buying a gun according to this process?

Perhaps the government should look at the criminal element instead of focusing their attention on law abiding citizens.

Yes, this is America, and Americans use guns. Perhaps the NRA should suggest that every American wear bullet-proof body armor when they leave their home....

44-year-old Darrell Brackett (pictured) sustained third-degree burns in the attack and is fighting for his life at a local hospital.
Thursday afternoon, Bennett’s mother distributed flyers at the station, hoping somebody with information on who attacked her son will come forward.
“We are trying to think positive, but the next three days will be critical,’’ Bridgett Brackett said.

Brackett and his girlfriend had stopped at the U-Gas station in Brownsville after running out of fuel. Around 11:30 p.m., a man approached Brackett, grabbed the gas can he was carrying, and doused him in the liquid before setting him on fire. Brackett ran into the street, where a Good Samaritan helped him into a grassy area where he dropped and rolled until the flames were out. Almost 50 percent of his body was covered in burns.

Miami-Dade authorities are investigating the incident as a potential homicide, thought they have no leads as of this writing. It has been reported that Brackett had some brief words with some men prior to the attack, but it is not known if they played a role or if this was a random assault.

great additional harm Obama plans for this county is tantamount to treason.

What the government has been doing is criminal and the great additional harm Obama plans for this county is tantamount to treason.

Anything to disprove the implications of a connection between increased abortion and decreased crime.

You need this (a "Waffenerwerbsschein") for ANY weapon which you want to buy in Switzerland.

For just one weapon, as specified in article 9b of the same law.

To get an allowance to buy all the arms you frequently mention (the "forbidden weapons" ['verbotene Waffen'], see article 5 of that law, you can try this via the canton, which all have different laws/by-laws to regulate such.

This additional and extra licence is for just one single weapon, too (even for 1 knife!). And additionally to the "Waffenerwerbsschein", you have to give an exact description of the weapon and name the seller.

Yes. We are concentrating our efforts to find out why, since it's such a bad practice.

Of course it come down to what you care about more attacking Obama or defending guns rights they are not one and the same thing for the most part.

Most of the theories have been long on intuition and short on evidence. Nevin says his data not only explain the decline in crime in the 1990s, but the rise in crime in the 1980s and other fluctuations going back a century. His data from multiple countries, which have different abortion rates, police strategies, demographics and economic conditions, indicate that lead is the only explanation that can account for international trends.

Because the countries phased out lead at different points, they provide a rigorous test: In each instance, the violent crime rate tracks lead poisoning levels two decades earlier.

"It is startling how much mileage has been given to the theory that abortion in the early 1970s was responsible for the decline in crime" in the 1990s, Nevin said. "But they legalized abortion in Britain, and the violent crime in Britain soared in the 1990s. The difference is our gasoline lead levels peaked in the early '70s and started falling in the late '70s, and fell very sharply through the early 1980s and was virtually eliminated by 1986 or '87.

As everyone had ask you over and over and over how is one manner of attacked worst then another???????
