HE WAS just a kid. On the day he died, Fernando Correa — "Fernandito" to his mama — did not fear the teen who was harassing him.
His mom warned him against leaving the house. But Fernando shrugged her off. For he was a gentle, 200-pound football star at Alfred E. Smith Vocational HS in The Bronx. He was too big. And his foe was too young.
"He told me, 'Mommy, he's just a kid like me! He's not gonna have a gun,' " Evelyn Ortiz remembered. "And that's the last words I heard from him," Evelyn said.
And she cried. "In two minutes, he was gone..." < snip >
Like Fernando, Officer Dillon Stewart died when senseless rage formed a combustible combination with easy access to firearms.
Where does it end?
"Terrible. Terrible," Evelyn moaned about the latest shooting. "These guns have to come off the street."
"He was 16 years old," Evelyn cried. "Where did he get a gun?" But she knows the answer. Guns are all too easy to get. And even simpler to use.

First this...
"I wish the law said that no people should ever have guns. Just the cops..."
Then this....
But his family was unable to get authorities to protect him. "I couldn't get the cops to listen to me," complained his mother. '
So you want the cops to have guns, even though they won't listen to or protect you? Wake up you dumb quiff.
The NYP is good for a NY paper. But they do weird stuff. For example, they drank the McCain koolaid during the 2000 campaign and became completely ridiculous over Him.
This is part of a carefully constructed plan to ban the sale of guns in other states. MA has already said so.
