Where does she find a $75 or less handgun retail? I do not see them.
Here is the source for the 9,146 total firearms murder victims in 2009:

“Where does she find a $75 or less handgun retail?”
Fantasy Land.
may I be so bold to ask,in what cities did most of these killings take place ?
Most meaningful statistics were left out:
0 - number of countries that became a dictatorship when citizens owned guns.
1 - reason for owning a firearm - becuase it is a right guaranteed by the Constitution.
2 - Second Amendment. With it, government fears us. Without it, we fear the government.
For seventy-five bucks, you won’t get much more than some industrial strength elastics and a couple of clothespins.
In other words, a slingshot.
Out of those 11,000, or 9700, annual firearms homicides, how many were in places where open and/or concealed carry was banned? And how is it possible to use any of those as a reason to further restrict arms elsewhere? Let’s see: Were guns banned in Columbine? Check. The Theater in Aurora? Check. That island off of Norway? Check.
Companies such as Raven, Jennings and Lorcin used to sell their pot-metal specials for around $80 - ten years ago. Some of those companies are no longer around, but even a Hi-Point would sell for a multiple of that today. Sounds like somebody found an old copy of Shotgun News.
That price point is from the late '80s or early '90s. She probabaly got it from old Brady leterature. The companies that sold such trash are either OOB or have moved upmarket. Even Stallard Arms pistols cost upwards of $200 these days.
A few years ago you could find them for less.
From a linked article within the above CNN article.
What planet are these people living on? While the second part of the statement is darn sure correct...the first part is just idiotic.

Only in the fevered, imaginative minds that wish it would be so like Amy the Media-babe, Chuckie "Control Freak" Schumer, and the Brady Bunch. The recent buying surge makes a strong argument contrary to her assertion.
By the numbers? 100% of first phone calls from mass shootings are to bring people with guns to make it stop.
Given the level of communist infiltration into every layer of our government, I can think of no greater time to need the 2nd Amendment for its intended purpose.
Jefferson knew damned well what could happen to the Federal government and gave us the tools to handle it. Unfortunately he was unable to impart the backbone required.
Stopped reading right there.

C’mon people. Some threads need a BARF alert
The best way to deal with this is to let the Sikh community know that it can defend itself freely in America, that they really *have* to do so, and that nobody is going to be too upset if they seek some revenge on these morons that attacked them.
Importantly, the Sikh religion, though generally peaceable, middle class and entrepreneurial, is also very pro-military and pro-defense, to the point where (sort of as in Kennesaw, GA with guns) adults are religiously *required* to be armed with at least a knife.
In recent years, and under the rather stuffy, post-British Hindu regime in India, and wimpy American liberalism, they have been religiously allowed to “downgrade” this idea, so that they can just carry ceremonial, non-functional or even decorative knives.
Bad idea.
While serious knives are a great idea, and I am a big fan of them, Sikhs need to return to their religion’s more traditional principals of self defense and self reliance.
Importantly, Sikhs have *nothing* in their religion opposed to guns, either, and Sikh soldiers, in whatever army, are often quite proficient in their use.
So the bottom line is a message to American Sikhs. Arm yourselves for real, based on the laws of your state. Open carry, concealed carry, it’s time to return to that good old-fashioned religion, because they had the right idea.
At inner city police buy-backs? Cash for Clunkers?
As they say:The problem is not that gun control nuts don't know everything about guns.
The problem is that everything they know is incorrect.

High-Ranking Mexican Drug Cartel Member Makes Explosive Allegation: ‘Fast and Furious’ Is Not What You Think It Is
Posted on August 9, 2012 at 8:00am by Jason Howerton
A high-ranking Mexican drug cartel operative currently in U.S. custody is making startling allegations that the failed federal gun-walking operation known as “Fast and Furious” isn’t what you think it is.
It wasn’t about tracking guns, it was about supplying them — all part of an elaborate agreement between the U.S. government and Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa Cartel to take down rival cartels.
The explosive allegations are being made by Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla, known as the Sinaloa Cartel’s “logistics coordinator.” He was extradited to the Chicago last year to face federal drug charges.

Zambada-Niebla claims that under a “divide and conquer” strategy, the U.S. helped finance and arm the Sinaloa Cartel through Operation Fast and Furious in exchange for information that allowed the DEA, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies to take down rival drug
