That place is horrible, with all that gun crime running rampant. Oh, what's this? Homicide is DOWN 11.4%. How can that be with all those guns running loose on the streets?<br /><br />Well, this is interesting. Robbery is DOWN 12.2%. That just doesn't make sense. All that gun availability must have run out on just the aggravated assaulters. <br /><br />I wonder if the homeowners are tooling up, because Burglary is DOWN 32.0%<br /><br />Interesting.

One or two histrionic members of Congress do as well. That's about it.<br /><br />Otherwise, your side would be winning. Funny how allowing people to vote works. You sure you're not thinking about may-issue for voting rights as well?Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
