Guns don't kill people ... Rappers do

Kopites do.

Bang bang - Washington DEECEE on lockdown, presumably because of the rich folk that live there and close proximity to the Prez.

Scary situation. I live about 7 miles from Capitol Hill. It happens to be a day when a lot of folks are in DC because of the Easter Egg Roll at the White House, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and most local schools are out for Easter Monday.

They predict there will be 1,300 violent crimes committed in DC this year after having 1,100 last year. The only thing shocking is the fact that this made the news. Hell, just today we had some suspected murderer kill himself by jumping in front of a MARC train. Just another day in the DMV.

Could probably use to have a better police chief but still a far cry from the levels of violence in the 80s. DC was really scary back then

On another note, I saw an interesting video on social media the other day which shows the locations of mass shootings within the US during 2015.

What I noticed was that they were primarily in the Southern or Western/Eastern states, while many of the Northern states had none at all.

Noticeably, Nevada was an exception to the rule which had none either. Any Americans have an idea why it's primarily a Southern issue?

Map gun sales to shootings and I think you'll find a good correlation

 

[SerenityNigh]

Very well said in whole. To answer this question, I believe it is because the South is far more conservative. I don't like to lay down such a blanket statement like that but I really do not know what else it could be attributed to. I grew up in the "South" (most people from the Deep South do not consider Washington, DC/Northern Virginia to be part of it) and never understood the mentality.

There are numerous occasions when I have felt incredibly unsafe in Southern states because either Jim Bob comes out to greet you at his gas station with his shotgun or Tammy Lynn wears her pink Desert Eagle on her belt for all to see at the bar. It's like they treat guns as an additional limb they cannot live without, in some cases to make up for a smaller lower limb.

I always knew Tammy Lynn had a dick!

Only 1,300? Congress must have a longer break than normal.

Another shooter on the loose in Ohio.

7 dead so far i believe. At least 5 children.

Utter madness.
