"westernwake1: Absolutely, categorically incorrect. Plus, you can't remove crime data from one place (the US) and not from the other (Europe) and then make a comparison...what the ***." -StuckHere

Actually documented and proven in studies. Go look it up. Some people simply do not want to pay attention to informaiton that goes against their paradigm that the only violent crime solution is to take all the guns away from law abiding citizens.

If his wife was 24 and has a 9 year old by the man, it would mean that he was 21 and she was around 14 when she got pregnant. My question is why did he not get put in jail for child molestation or rape many years ago? The article said she was 24 now and he was 31 and there is a 9 year old and a 1 or 2 year old.

# 2 State on the list of per capita gun killings is South Carolina. So don't try and blame the whole problem on the brown people in the cities.

bombayrunner: "How many crimes are committed from citizens having a concealed weapons permit? ... ans = 0."

It doesn't matter what number you put there, it's simply made up, but 0? LOL

"You gun nuts are quite something."

You don't make a strong case when all you have to offer is insults. It's the people with gun phobias that immediately try to deflect blame with regard these type of stories.

"The United States has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world — by far. And it has the highest rate of homicides among advanced countries." - bombayrunner

If you remove the cities (e.g. Chicago, D.C.) that have strict gun control laws from the crime statistics in the U.S. then the U.S. has a much lower murder and violent crime rate than the collective European Union. These strict gun control U.S. cities represent 5% of the popultion but 50% of the violent crime and murders.

Maybe the gun law should be that everyone be permitted to carry a gun and you see someone shooting others for no reason you just shoot them? That will put an end to it. The more laws that restrict ones freedom. ..Drugs, guns, jobs, will cause this to happen whether you like the choices people make or not freedom is being allowed to choose.

“You gun nuts are quite something.” – atheistswillrule

Yes, the gun enthusiasts would prefer these ladies would have had a means to protect themselves rather than just dialing 911 and rolling the dice. As this incident and others show, sometimes you get snake-eyes. The anti-gunners might be tired of hearing “when seconds count the police are minutes away” but all too often we see the tragic results of this true saying.
