Uh huh. I'm sure they do. And how are these people being killed? Who
is killing them? And what are they being killed with?

Ummm...Colonel Mustard, in the library, with the candlestick?

I'll save you the bother of responding. They are being killed by CRIMINALS
using GUNS. Criminals will always have guns in this country, because
criminals, by definition, are not constrained by the moral necessity to
observe the law, including gun laws. Just ask any victim of gun crime in
Great Britain, where the law-abiding citizens have no rights to keep and
bear arms, and even sporting shotguns must be kept in gun club armories,
instead of in the owner's home. Over there, violent criminals have no
problem getting guns -- they're brought into the country by the SEALAND
container load under the watchful eye of Customs officers who have nice
fat pockets full of payoff money. They are quickly distributed throughout
the criminal and terrorist underground at obscene profits, and end up in
the hands of the same kinds of criminals that they've always ended up
in. Even unarmed criminals are having a "field day" of their own. They can
simply walk into the homes of innocent citizens, even in broad daylight,
since they know with absolute certainty that they will not be faced with the
barrel of a shotgun or a 9mm pistol, as they may have been years before.
The net result is that British citizens are being robbed and killed by
criminals with guns at a rate three times what it was before the country
went to total civil disarmament. Crimes against property have risen to
the point where it is now estimated that fully 50% of the British population
has been or will be crime victims within their lifetimes.

This is exactly why NRA used to sell bumper stickers that said, "If
guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."

It is a proven fact that everywhere in the United States where "Shall Issue"
Right-to-Carry concealed weapon laws exist, violent crime drops at a
dramatic rate. Your own home state of Texas is one of the leading examples.
It is also a proven fact that the only force that can stop a criminal with a
gun is a law-abiding citizen with another gun. You see, the guns don't
know who is using them -- they are inanimate objects which require a
responsible human agency to utilize them for good or evil.

From a bumper sticker that I had on my Blazer before selling it: "No
gun pulls its own trigger."

The best
solution to the problem of violent gun crime is to ensure that the criminals
have as much to fear from their victims as their victims have to fear from
them.

Better yet, ensure that criminals have *more* to fear from their
victims than their victims have to fear from them:

Punk On Street: Hand over the wallet, buddy! (Sound of switchblade
knife opening and blade locking open)

Intended Victim: Not very bright, young man, bringing a knife to a
gunfight. (Sound of hammer being cocked on Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum
revolver...followed by sound of Punk On Street turning into an albino
with brown pants on and running away at Warp 9)

Criminals love gun control, it makes their jobs easier.
