Just do what they use to do. If 5 people are shot in a drive-by that is only 1 shooting. Really helps cut down on those pesky FBI crime statistics.

But the REAL problem is citizens in rural Virginia owning magazines that hold more than 12 rounds.

How many of these “children” gang-bangers?

That liberal college girl was killed by 14 year old thugs in New York City.

Don’t forget that advances in modern and emergency medicine have kept people alive who years ago would surely have died.

Fault of the democrats as they deliberately leave guns in the hands of violent criminals and eliminate job opportunities, and blame the resultant misery on Whitey.
