Did the article say how many of the guns involved in those crimes cited by the 20 percent had been acquired legally?
Devil's advocate, Danzig- I'm amazed that the majority of people who knew of a crime involving guns still didn't want one. Because they've seen what they can do, do you think?
How about we attack poverty and urban blight-- I have a strong suspicion that would do more to fight crime than anything else. Oh right, because conservatives feel if you're poor, you must deserve it and could get out of it if you really, really wanted to.

and why does this once again have to become a partisan debate? and why reply TO ME about conservatives, i'm not one!
