How many stories like this can happen, day after day, year after year,
and you gun-loving fools can say with a straight face that your country
is a better place because of your constitutional right to own
firearms...

GEE! You're right, we need to take all guns away from the police because
they kill so many innocent citizens. Darn, the military
has lots of guns, they kill lots of people, we need to take those
away too. Lets see, there are over 300 million of us gun loving
nut jobs in The United States so there must be hundreds of thousands
of people killed by guns in this country every year and we have to
get rid of everything that may take an innocent life. Let me think
of all the dangerous items we have here that kill people, hummmm...
Darn! It's a very big list, it'll take some time. o_O

Didn't Myth Busters do a story where they shot bullets straight up in
the air and determined that they did not have lethal force when they hit
the ground? I recall penetration was minor.

I figure that the deaths that occur are probably from bullets shot at 45
degree angles or less which could be lethal.

Yep, and I recall a tragic death of a young woman in New York years ago
when a fellow fired a rifle out into the water at a harbor. The bullet
skipped off the water, entered through the open back window of a passing
car a mile away and pierced the skull behind the ear of the young woman
who was driving the car. An amazing detective figured out what happened.
