Default OT - Is it really worth saving any more?


"Mark & Juanita" wrote in message
I live in Toronto Canada. Much of the "gun news" lately has revolved
around people getting shot just because they were standing in wrong

place
at the wrong time.


In fair turnabout, do you have some supporting data for that assertion?


Yes, I can do that. It will take me a little time to find the news articles,
but from memory one shooting was a guy who took a bullet in head that was
meant for a bouncer who ejected a patron from a bar/strip club. The owner of
the gun was licensed to own the gun for target shooting. He was not licensed
to carry.

The second that comes to mind was a woman standing outside a club so she
could smoke a cigarette and took a bullet from some guy who decided to spray
the entrance to a club after he was ejected.

I've got a few more in mind, but I'll have to read up on the details a
little more.

And a question for you. Will three recent examples suffice? And when I do
post the supporting data for assertion, what will it gain? Will you suddenly
admit to being in error in this discussion or will the information just be
depicted as some unusual anomaly?
