    Doctors and Hospitals kill more than that and car accidents kill more, He likes the illegals and the crime rate is skyrocketing with them.He says nothing about that and 25 Americans die at the hands of illegals a day.[:(][xx(][V][:(!]

    A quick Google search brought this up:

    In 2003 alone, 30,136 Americans died by gunfire: 16,907 in firearm suicides, 11,920 in firearm homicides, 730 in unintentional shootings, and 232 in firearm deaths of unknown intent, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Nearly three times that number are treated in emergency rooms each year for nonfatal firearm injuries.


    As far as I'm concerned, suicides and unintentional doesn't apply to me.

    With 300 million people, I'd say these numbers are outstanding, compared to the 40,000 we lose a year to traffic accidents and 400,000 smoking related deaths.

    Everyone knows that the best way to kill is with bombs. That is what Allah commands.

    Chicago's currently freaking out a little.

    Someone used a 5.7 in a shooting a few days ago.



    quote:As police were sorting through the details of a Bronzeville neighborhood shooting, there was rising concern about the weapon used and its long-term implications for Chicago.
    On the ground, shattered glass from the CTA bus stop, where the victims' car smashed into it. Also on the ground, shell casings from a gun known as an FN-5.7.

    Police Sergeant Kirkland Crossley says the FN-5.7 bullets can go through 48 layers of Kevlar.

    "We recovered ten shell casings, and this weapon is known to carry at least 20 rounds in the magazine."

    WBBM: How often do you see this type gun on the street?

    "Very first time, very first time I've seen it, and I've been on the job 15 years now. And by far this is probably the most dangerous handgun that I've come across."

    Sergeant Crossley says, compared to the FN-5.7, what police carry is a slingshot.

    But there is some downplaying of the 5.7's power finally

    quote:Now police are downplaying Crossley's remarks.

    Sergeant Steven Sesso, rangemaster for the Chicago Police Department, called to say there are six types of ammunition the FN-5.7 fires. Only three types, he says, are available commercially. The other three? Only sold to military and law enforcement. And he says those three are the only types that can penetrate body armor.

    Sergeant Sesso says it is unlikely the rounds fired yesterday were body-piercing. But he cannot be sure.

    "Without having the actual round in hand - just having the cartridge casings - it's not absolutely 100 percent positive what round."

    Sergeant Sesso says, "We don't want to cause panic."
