Very interesting crime map! You can see most of the shooting victims are black males in their 30's but one of the cases is a triple homicide.

Including democrats, we all need to be mindful that guns are not the problem. It seems that our lack of improving mental health care may be a very large portion of our shooting problems. Gangs are probably the largest part. We cannot gain anything by attacking the messenger (guns) instead of the sources. How dumb is that? How dumb is it to pump money down a rarhole?
