I blame weekends. All of these good people working 9 to 5 on the weekdays and too tired to cause any trouble after an honest days work. I say - no more weekends off!

47 shot, and only 5 Ks? that’s some crappy shooting.When you hold your gun sideways and upside down, that's about the best you can expect.

Obvious solution is to ban guns. Don’t do anything to curb the criminals, just ban guns.

But you assume these shootings are done by working individuals. I’ll bet the typical shooter relies on the government and street scams for a living.

Heard on the news this morning that there was a “gunfight” outside of a tenement apartment complex and the residents weren’t cooperating with the police...
These places need “fenced off” from polite society.
