Outrage: Why America's Gun Laws Need to Change
By Alan Gottlieb and Dave Workman



By all accounts, Robert Byland, a resident of New York's Canarsie
neighborhood, was a good man. A youth basketball coach, father and husband,
Byland was caught in a hail of gunfire just blocks from his house, looking
to get his 8-year-old daughter and her 13-year-old cousin off the street
after he heard shots.

He died on Father's Day, doing what a father is supposed to do: Watch out
for his kids. His widow is nine months pregnant with twins that will never
know their dad.

Mr. Byland was killed in the same city that recently tried to jail two other
men who used unlicensed guns to defend their homes. Airman First Class
Manuel Falquez, 22, killed a burglar in his mother's Queen's-area home. The
man he shot was armed with a knife and a .38-caliber revolver. Navy veteran
Ronald Dixon, 27, also a Canarsie resident, shot a career burglar he
discovered in his baby's bedroom.

Don't you people realize that gun ownership is a relative thing in the U.S.?

Only those who are relatives of certain rich, democratic, anti-gun, holier-than-thou types are supposed to have guns or have bodyguards with guns to protect them. The rest of us are supposed to call 911...and hope for the best!!!!! How far do you think Hillary would travel around New York if she didn't have Secret Service guys protecting her? Or how many of the PC movie stars would live in Holy-wood if they couldn't have armed guards?

America used to be a great country!!!!

I don't like having 24 hour armed guards.

Last week the brutes ate all the hummus, broke my autographed picture of Barbra Streisand and left the toilet seat up.

However it is better than having to soil my fingers with a (gasp ) automatic sub machine revolver or something.

How far do you think Hillary would travel around New York if she didn't have Secret Service guys protecting her?

About twice as far as she'd travel in Washington, D.C.: no distance at all.

Good article, although i dont know about that picture. 2.5 million crimes a year, or whatever number you use, is not the same as 2 million lives.

I really believe that if America was invaded by a foreign army that as the battle raged many in this country would be preaching about anti gun violence and diversity! :confused:

At the very least CNN would be covering those that are to try and make it look like the majority opinion.
