I beg your pardon?! Thats about a terminaly stupid crack. What percieved malcunction, tbat has to do with skin tone, is it that you see here. You feel white people kill each other with guns and/or handle them in sill fashion more so than someone who is a different color? Asinine quips like tbis are inflammatory and arrogant. And far from amusing.

Ignorant posts amuse me!

25 years murder-free in 'Gun Town USA....

In March 1982, 25 years ago, the small town of Kennesaw – responding to a handgun ban in Morton Grove, Ill. – unanimously passed an ordinance requiring each head of household to own and maintain a gun.
Since then, despite dire predictions of “Wild West” showdowns and increased violence and accidents, not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender.

Kennesaw also had a low crime rate before passing their ordinance for people to have a gun, basically it shows that neither adding more guns or taking away guns doesn't matter much to gun violence. I am however for drawing a line with what people can and can't own because there are weapons out there that are meant to simply do a lot of damage quickly.

Then go live somewhere where there are no guns and see how civil it is.

Go look at the prison population. Now go look at the racial mix of gang bangers. Now look at the racial mix on Wall St. Now look at the racial mix of killers?

Is it still amusing?

I always thought conservatives were all for freedom of choice. Now they are supporting towns that are taking that freedom away. Go figure.
