Excerpts:

"But while half of the shootings I featured were the result of a
crime, the other half, I was most surprised to learn, resulted from
arguments — often fueled by alcohol — among friends, neighbors, family
members and romantic partners. More and more, people are solving their
differences not with their fists but with guns. Husbands and wives are
shooting each other, as are sisters and brothers. In many homes across
America, loaded guns are easily accessible, and children find them,
accidentally shooting themselves or each other. One hundred children
died in unintentional shootings in the year after Newtown, which
breaks down to two every week."

"A favorite argument of the gun-rights crowd is that nothing stops a
bad guy with a gun more effectively than a good guy with a gun. I have
come to believe that people who think they are going to shoot the bad
guys — which sometimes does happen — are influenced by movies. Often
their own guns are grabbed by the bad guys and used against them,
especially during home invasions. In my daily reports, I made sure to
include police officers accidentally shooting themselves and each
other. If highly trained people have accidents, how can civilians be
expected to be perfect marksmen during a high-stress robbery?"

I'm waiting to read about Herring, aka self-described good guy, getting
into a gunfight with some bad guy who has a bit more experience with
sidearms.

One hundred sounds like a large number until you look at all the other
things that cause accidental death with children. This is yet another
case of raising the emotional cry of "what about the children?" when
the real purpose is to advance a personal anti gun agenda.

Our famous pistolero weighs in.


Kinda' like the Easter on Christmas theory harry came up with a while
back... I would imagine most folks who have a "bit more experience" with
sidearms, wouldn't get into a "gunfight". Seems to me harry's gun
experience might be googled like most of his other harrytales...

In article ,

So what? Some people rail about Bill and Hillary Clinton. Some about
Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz.
People always bitch about something.
Besides, swimming pools don't kill, people kill.
So be wary of a man with a swimming pool in his hand.

I don't expect to get into a gunfight, either, but...when *you* decide
to perpetrate an illegal home invasion down here in semi-rural
Huntingtown, you can be sure you will be met with a 12 gauge shotgun or
a .357 MAG revolver as soon as you bust through the door or window, and
I'll bill your survivors for the cost of cleaning up the blood/grease
stains you leave behind after you are carried out in a body bag.

Let me know when you raise the gas money.

I wonder if that includes all the under 18 year-olds in Chicago and elsewhere. Oh, wait, they don't
count, and it's 'racist' to mention them.

Another "Zimmerman like" Harry story?



How is that? Little **** Ingerfool can walk up and down our streets all
day long carrying a bag of candy and a cold drink. Some of the mothers
of young girls around here, though, might call the sheriff to report the
presence of the little troll. Or maybe it would be the mothers of the
young boys. It's hard to tell what floats Ingerfool's rotted plywood boats.

It's quite telling that right-wing assholes like Herring and W'hine so
easily dismiss the death of children killed by firearms.
