February 3, 2005 -- A high-school cheerleader was charged with murder yesterday for participating in the Lower East Side street attack that killed aspiring actress Nicole duFresne last week, cops said. (Linda) DuFresne, who spoke from her home in Minnesota, said she hopes her daughter's death will convince people to think more seriously about enacting stronger gun-control laws.

i had to go low profile with the google search and didn't want to get on the "wrong" site from a work computer and I prefer not to view more risque pictures even to help a Freeper out. ;o)

What REALLY pisses me off about my own home state are the suburban RINOs who always say "only the police should have guns."
true, so true....(sigh)...
Yep. If only liberals would look at what is now happening to all defenseless victims in Great Britain. No guns, owned by law abiding citizens, means perps can rob, kill, and rape without fear of immediate retribution. Gun crimes went up, not down and victims are everywhere, including in their own homes without any protection -- except to call a bobby who shows up with a whistle.
It's long past time for laws to be enacted to remove weapons from the hands of criminals. </sarcasm>
With all due respect to this grieving mother, she is a flaming @sshole. If New York City's gun-control laws couldn't stop this murder, then nothing will.
If only the quasi-humanoid mutants had attacked her daughter with a cigarette . . . they'd be lucky to survive their ordeal in the NYC criminal justice system.
It takes a village, don't you know?
Deep inside these people think affluent whites deserve to be shot by poor, marginalized blacks.
Judging from this "mother's" comments, it sounds, pure and simple, as Darwinism at work...
Different situation but a couple of weeks ago M. Savage was talking about, IIRC, the death of a young female who went to Africa (some time ago) to help the people there. She was slaughtered and her parents basically excused the killers.
Her daughter might be alive if she had a gun.
She declawed her own children with her fear of arms, and wants to infect the rest of us with that same weakness. For shame on that woman!
Yeah. Bunch of liberal whack jobs. I'm suddenly very tired of the story.
Women have to walk ten deep together in the townships. Amy Biehl was FOOLISH. Not even christian ministers go by themselves unaccompanied and UNARMED.
Yup see how well gun control laws work in Mexico...lots of crime including a corrupt government and no guns to overthrow them...LOL..

I ask this question in all seriesness: NYC has the lowest homicide rate by far of any big city in the United States despite having perhaps the strictest gun control laws in the Country. Are there any big cities in which concealed carry is allowed and if so, what is the homicide rate in those cities as compared to NYC?
BTW, outside of NYC obtaining a concealed carry permit is not all that difficult if your're a law abiding citizen. I've gone to courthouses in some of the more rural counties where one of the first signs you see is "Please Check Your Firearm With Court Security." Also, with a carry permit, I can go into any bar or restaurant outside of NYC with a concealed firearm, as long as the owner of the place doesn't object, which is more than I can say for some of the places I've been to in Texas. I've been to some roadhouses up in the Catskill Mountains where they probably wouldn't let you in unless you were carrying concealed or open on the hip.
