Three is too many. For that matter, one is too many.

Agreed, then why is everyone focused on the "gun"?

Any place that breaks down those murders by race of victim and aggressor?

It's all cause and defect.

I blame Bush for making terrorism kool, by shocking and awing.

Deal with the cause and remedy the defect.

Bush did it just to get his name in the papers.

Now, Bush is a SOMEBODY!

Mission Accomplished!

Bill Clinton was just trying to look kool to Republicans.

Republicans can't wait, I mean, they can't wait, for Hillary to be elected.

You know what? I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and choose compassion over criticism.
Since you quoted me, apparently your lack of comprehension prevented you from understanding when I said I would give him a pass on this.

Welcome to my list.

I just looked up one on that list that was close to home, #37, and it was an accidental discharge by a law enforcement officer.
Shooting At Shooters; 6 Injured At Florida Eatery

An error in one random selection makes the remainder of the list suspect to padding.
