AP stories rarely generate much, if any, comment on the TW site. Local stories and the opinion columns can really become stem-winders in the comments. The local libs predominate and a few of us conservatives jump in to try to keep them honest.

Did I dream that over half of America’s murder problem is in FIVE counties? Not states, COUNTIES.

Not five counties...it's five percent of counties. Roughly 157 counties, boroughs and parishes.

The left’s biggest problem is that as gun laws are loosened, crime will drop and it will be that much harder to convince the average American that we have a gun problem. In liberal enclaves, where crime is really rampant, gun laws will not change or will become more restrictive, so people living in those areas will wonder why gun violence is increasing instead of decreasing. But most people seem to make the connection between more guns decreasing crime.

That seems more credible (not counting abortion in this).

On top of this: Many armed encounters don’t even conclude with any shot at all being fired.

Got news for those assh*les...

It ain’t the “pro-gun government” you gotta worry about.

It’s the armed 220+ million of us.

Just sayin’.
