I know it's about the Miami shooting, but this is the Orlando Sentinel, not a Miami newspaper (for whatever difference that makes).

It wasn't obvious where to vote, but underneath the results, you click on the "nnnnnn total repsonses" link and you can vote.

Oh ... voted and it is now "heck no 49.7% (33104), yes 48.8% (32480)"

Wow, just like cops, they show up to ask questions. Who was saved by their guns? Right, no one. Because I know what would happen in my neighborhood if someone was shooting a gun off...

.223 through their face, neck, chest, chest, groin, legs, head, chest, chest...I thnk that would stop them so the cops wouldn't have to ask for help identifying the shooter, they could just check his wallet and compare finger prints and DNA.
