BTW, according to FBI statistics, there are an average 2000 criminal bombings per year in the US, averaging around 38 per week. The number of bombings has been decreasing in recent years.

I've not got current murder by firearms statistics in front of me, but I'm recalling it is over 12,000/yr in the US, or about 230/week.

I think we have much more serious crimes to concern ourselves with. I don't recall, in all my years here, seeing this sort of concern regarding violent crime voiced by the Mudcat reactionaries prior to this, so why is this crime being considered so much more dastardly by some here?
