>>>>>This is not an abstract debate about the 2nd amendment. And I will not debate it on those terms with you any more. This is a real person. It's a 15 year old girl shot dead by a gun. By all indications she was a terrific young person who is dead for no other reason than that a stray gunshot killed her. She and two friends were riding out a rainstorm when one of the bullets hit her. She was not a gangbanger. She didn't do anything to anyone. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time when rival gangbangers started blasting back and forth. And so another 15 year old with great potential is lost. You bet I'm mad.

>>>>Jeesh! You can be angry and mad, but focus your anger on the true cause of her death... gang rivalry and the punks that run in them. By your definition, the cars that kill young drivers by the 1,000's more than guns ever will should be removed from the streets...

I didn't say I accepted the girl's death .. It is a tragedy and a shame, but the POINT is blame the perpetrators, not the guns......
