Gun Bans Kill; D.C. Newsman Is Latest Victim, So It's News, Says CCRKBA
The District of Columbia's gun ban has claimed another victim, and this time a veteran newsman has died, all because criminals know citizens in the nation's capitol cannot fight back, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) said today. 'Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of veteran New York Times reporter and editor David E. Rosenbaum, who died Sunday from injuries he suffered during a brutal robbery Friday night near his home in northwest Washington, D.C.,' said CCRKBA Chairman Alan M. Gottlieb, who is also publisher of Gun Week, a nationally circulated firearms newspaper. 'We cannot know whether Mr. Rosenbaum would ever have kept a gun for personal protection, but we do know that every law-abiding citizen now living in the District can't. And we also know that for years, criminals have taken advantage of this environment of public disarmament, as hungry wolves prey on defenseless sheep.

It's easy to say that the gun ban killed the guy. But is it true? Most likely not.

^Indeed. However, I still disagree with banning firearms. The people who use guns for bad things are still going to find guns illegally if the government bans them and they'll still use them for bad things. The only thing banning guns will do is make the people who use guns for good things (i.e. home safety, recreation, etc.) not be able to use them anymore.
-edit- I was referring to Dune's post.

Disgrace to his life? Give me a break. He did not die because of the gun ban. They don't know if he would have had a firearm anyways. So what about someone in D.C. who refused before and after to ever get a firearm, is it a disgrace then? It's just propaganda.

Canada and England.

The most dangerous people in England with guns are their "security" forces.

They shot that Brazillian guy because he was suspicious. Only to find out he was innocent and not actually acting very suspicious at all.

This isn't an "oops" mistake. An innocent died, there is no excuse for the poor response of the security forces.

You could take any example of someone getting killed and say "Oh well if they had a gun they could have..."
