Even with ZERO gun homicides in the US, we would have a homicide rate that is double yours in Denmark. And many of our gun homicides would be shifted to death by other weapons rather than eliminating the homicide entirely.

Why is that? Demographics. Comparing countries is very difficult and usually inaccurate because the people are quite different. You cannot assume that the laws in Denmark would produce the same results if enacted in the USA.

Who told you guns were illegal in NYC? Bloomberg?
Sorry, I should have specified that Pennsylvania (a gun-toting state) is the exception.
NJ and CT?
Their murder rates is lower than any GunBelt state: educate yourself, gun nut.

Hopefully, someone saved that video for playback. ABC will do anything to boost their miserable ratings.

Not that shoot out- the other one at the block party in the project...The report of the poor woman who escaped the Eaton Center shooting...only too die in Aurora ....is very strange- She had posted about how fragile life was and how you can be taken at any moment-

I don't mind the thought of being taken by natural cause or accident- but to be murdered is a horror- that some human being - and not God or nature..bringing your life to an end...only brings about rage against evil- Evil is shown too much kindness these days-

No more sympathy through liberalism..Time to have laws where nature rules- not mad men and irresponsible self serving elite and politicians who kiss the asses of those who grow rich through evil- Much like Obama paying tribute to his Hollywood cronies - as if they were contributors to the common good when they clearly are not.

Philly is another gun free zone. Check out crime stats for New Haven, Newark, and Camden. Those are gun free zones also.

So many fails, so little time.

Is THIS what ABC's liberal hack Brian Ross used to try and tie the shooting to the Tea Party?

Jim Holmes's Page - Colorado Tea Party Patriots

In a perfect world, these so called journalists would all be fired and we would get those who would not resort to such biased, agenda driven garbage. I absolutely hate the news media. They continue to fail this country day in and out.

We represent civilization. The rest of the country is backwater and hillbilly.

If NYC represents civilization, then I would choose to be a backwater hillbilly.

No connection to the Tea Party. It was a false accusation by ABC News of course. Perhaps you should get up to speed with actual true information next time so you don't look, you know, stupid?

And look at that. That is JUST what ABC wanted. Just throw out info out there that it has ties to the Tea Party even though they have no idea it it was or not. They just want someone to hear it and hope they spread it. The word spreads that its a Tea Party member, that was their goal. Sick pathetic hacks that call themselves journalists.
