I wonder how many of the 11,000 murdered by guns each year are criminals. Just thinking out loud, but if the vast majority are criminals, can't we just consider it self-inflicted....Population control?

You mean, how many are coincidentally criminals (say, haven't paid a parking ticket or something?)

Zero of them are shot in self defense. These are homicides.

Are gang homicides included in that 11,000 number?

I'd look it up, but it's not that important.

Hey, here's an idea....look it up!!

You can start here:

Expanded Homicide Data Table 11 - Crime in the United States 2009

According to the above, in 2009 there were 824 gang homicides committed with a gun - out of 9,146 gun related homicides.

And this one will tell you that you're far more likely to be killed by someone you know than by someone you don't know.

No, but the NRA's right to free speech was apparently more important than was this grieving father's.

I'm not sure why Chicago always tops the gun-crime list with certain people - or why those people are usually always Obama haters - or if those two things are connected.

The fact is - Chicago doesn't even hit the Top Ten of gun violence.

I have to use Extreme Caution talking about Chicago but I will say this about the baffling, mind boggling way that the Obama Left Wing Media handles The Chicago Killing Fields.

Example:
20 people shot dead over the weekend on the Chicago streets (obama media completely ignores it)

Man in Utah accidently shoots his wife while cleaning his gun (the obama left wing media rants and raves about it for three weeks, chris matthews has to be sedated, msnbc flys it's flag at half mast)

Do liberals really believe they will take the criminals gun away from him?
