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.

actually gen, i think more education is the key to many of our ills,

and scuds, i'm not from arkansas, and not a hillbilly. once again you seem to want to get to the lowest common denominator. my contention is, at close range, it doesn't matter if you get shot with a .22, a .38, or an uzi--and that if you can't buy the GUN, what the hell does it matter the bullet--are you going to throw it?
