I find the stray bullet that goes through an old frame house and cripples a kid watching TV to be something to care about.

If that happened with any kind of frequency at all, you'd have a point.

Having lived in the inner-city for 30+ years and, thusly, having never heard of an "old frame house" I can only assume that you mean a brick row house, or that you have no familiarity with firearms. Both cannot be true at the same time.

Your statement reminds me of people who are terrified that their kids will be gunned down at school by someone with a "machine gun".

Stop clutching your pearls and look at things rationally.

I don’t live in Chicago anymore, but this very thing actually happened where I live.

Are you saying that no innocent bystanders are ever shot/killed in Chicago? I had no idea that the shooters there were such fine marksmen. If that’s not true, what number (or at least ratio) would you find acceptable. I have no love for these bums either, but decent people of any economic circumstances have a right to live their lives without fear of getting shot.
