However gun death rates are far lower here and this must inevitably be due to limitations on availability. What this means of course is that people kill each other with differetn weapons instead but our overall homicide rate is jams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-18875766020862648232009-01-16T07:03:00.000-05:002009-01-16T07:03:00.000-05:00i'm with Dave....NO handguns in urban areas, PERIO...i'm with Dave....NO handguns in urban areas, PERIOD.<BR/><BR/>if the freaking meddlers from other states had kept their big NRA egos out of it, the DC handgun ban would still stand as written. i doubt if any of the DC families who have lost their loved ones to senseless handgun killings would want to see the ban lifted, either.Xtreme Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536661018563937509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-31838894738238989332009-01-15T13:02:00.000-05:002009-01-15T13:02:00.000-05:00I don't own a gun.
