In case you have not yet noticed, most of those sqealing for gun control could care less about
most gun crime. They get their panties in a wad very selectively when "innocent white folks" are the victims, the shooting occurs in their "safe" neighborhoods, the shooter is white and a "scary gun" (AW) is used. Statistics show that this type of crime is extremely rare, yet that is never mentioned, it is simply lumped in with all of the "regular" gun crime and the total presented to seem like this is a "typical" (representative?) gun crime that simply had a high victim count only because of the "scary gun" used. Mowing down little kids and unarmed teachers packed into a gym does not require any special skill or special type of firearm, yet many seem to concentrate on the need for "certain" firearms to be removed from the planet. Meanwhile, back in the hood, gangs and thugs continue to do battle (without massive press coverage), using mostly large caliber handguns, catching hundreds of innocents in the crossfire, yet the liberals can conceive of no way to control that, or even seem to care. Although the state of Connecticut has more people than the city of Chicago, Connecticut had only 94 gun crime deaths in 2011, about 1/4 of what the city of Chicago alone had.
