#1 A disruption of "natural selection." Pity that.

#3 Still won't stop them from trying to pass more gun control to keep guns out of the hands of the law abiding citizens.

#4 I suspect the drop is because so many went to Fergeson to riot and collect prizes.

Snark of the day. With a bullet...

#5 yet todays Drudge headlines 42 shootings across the city - perhaps gang on gang not counted as a crime? works for me....

Yep, that's how the Left (and their sockpuppet media whores) handles it.

#9 The thugs are thinking "that citizen that I'm about to rob just might be armed and I might get my sweet arse blown away"? Could be. In other places, violent crime has declined when citizens carry. Not a stretch.
