Tell me why this newspaper guy is not guilty. He shot someone.
QED.
Uh, because it was in self defense.

U2Bama said:Now, on to what happened last night: we are hearing down here in Alabama that one or both of the suspects in the Maryland/D.C./Virginia shootings robbed a liquor store in Montgomery, Alabama back in September, and in the process killed one clerk and wounded another. Now I realize that we need to be sensitive to the needs, feelings, and safety of violent armed robbers, but I personally almost wish that one of the clerks at the liquor store in Montgomery had been armed and blown these two guys' faces off. If so, it is possible that none of the other shootings would occur.

But then again, if the sniper would not have had the opportunity to buy his weapon in every regular gun store in the country, the shootings maybe also wouldn't have occurred.

But do you just dismiss the fact that in a number of Western countries, guns are not available for wholesale, and the murder rates are way, way lower than in the USA?
To quote from TWW: "If you combine the populations of Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Australia, you'll get a population roughly the size of the United States. We had 32,000 gun deaths last year. They had 112. Do you think it's because Americans are more homicidal by nature? Or do you think it's because those guys have gun control laws?"
2) anyone who wants to kill someone - CAN! it doesnt take a gun! there are millions of effective methods to execute someone.
3) i get the feeling that people think if the states had gun control everything would be safer...i highly doubt it. anyone who really wants a gun will get a gun.
