"High Profile" Gun Violence In the U.S. Since 1997
« on: June 10, 2009, 02:37:00 PM »
This is laughable...... and filled with a lot of fluff:

http://www.bradycampaign.org/facts/highprofile/
(Consider the source)

The six that are listed in my state (SC), I had never even heard of -- and I pretty much watch the local news every night. One also simply said "Four men were shot near a home" ...... not really sure if that qualifies as "high profile"  ::)

Notice also that they give no sources for this or anyway to look up a news report for any actual shooting they cite.

Notice that the biggest clusters are in places with strict gun laws ? NYC, Boston, Chicago, LA, the one in Fla clusters around Palm Beach, Miami, Liberty City, HMMM, is there a trend here ? TAB would say no.

Bunch of Brady wankers. If you click on the far left blue dot in N.E. Texas you'll see a story about a perp with an AK vs lots of officers. What they don't show or tell you is about the brave officers and the one who ended this mess with a Punkin Head shot from his trusty AR15. They also don't mention in the video but the perp was in full body armor. Check the You Tube link:

As I remember the head shot was actually a ricochet off the bed of the truck.

Gawd, I love a good trick shot!
Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

That's it?  In ten years and THREE HUNDRED MILLION people that's it?  More people probably die during a SINGLE weekend of driving, or house hold accidents.  When TENS OF THOUSANDS of people start getting shot on a nightly basis let me know.  But don't bother me with this crap Brady, you having to compile ten years of incidents so the numbers look big, even then they don't warrant some crisis, doesn't convince me.
