This is not about guns, more gun laws or less its about the type of people are involved in these shootings. NAAACP protest police doing their jobs but not not trying to better their followers. If they were like most of us who have to get up early to go to work they won't be out there late at night.

No one who was properly trained and licensed to carry a firearm would "start firing a gun @ who you assumed" fired at you...training and responsible ownership trumps that assumptions...!!!!-SmokeWagon

Let me guess…no one “properly trained and licensed to carry a firearm would” accidently fire gun while cleaning it, transporting it, hunting with it, etc? (sometime even at a person) Being “trained” does not remove the human element of chance / panic / emotion. Guess ‘friendly fire’ never happens at war either because our soldiers are some of the best trained warriors on the planet…

NotAgain: We don't want Iran to have a nuclear warhead for the same reason we don't want convicted felons to get firearms. And the majority of the disincentive for Iran to get a nuclear warhead is the rest of the well-armed countries giving Iran stern warnings.
