In the article you linked, it is mentioned that the Million Mom president, Mary Leigh Blek said, that her son, who was a senior in college, was killed by 3 teenage thugs (15 yrs old) in New York. It goes on to say that Ms Blek congratulated Missouri for failing to pass legislation in 1998 that would allow Missourians to carry "...concealed and loaded ..." guns...
What she fails to realize is that NYC PROHIBITS CONCEALED CARRY for common citizens. It is precisely why her son was shot and killed, as the criminals who walk the streets of NYC have no fear of being shot due to the fact that most if not all citizens there are unarmed.
So in effect she is congratulating the very policy that led to her son's death.
Sorry for the double post, my mouse is being difficult today.. :)
