Yes I know. What I meant was that we are one nation and therefore the good, bad and ugly make up our national identity.

We can point to a part of our society where there are problems are but unless we address those problems properly they won't go away.
 
Probably the most surprising statistic I have seen is from Table 13 on page 13:

In 1997, 9.9% of those in state custody and 7.6% of those in federal custody possessed single shot firearms when arrested. In 2004, the percentages were 7.5% and 8.2%, respectively.

SINGLE SHOT FIREARMS? What type of moron packs a single shot firearm when up to no good?
 
Two possibilities: (1) a moron who didn't have enough cash for anything else; and (2) a moron who counts on the deterrent effect of having a firearm. Note that the two are not mutually exclusive.
 
would a single shot 12 gauge was inclusive to the single shot firearm category?

At least i can see t being more formidable and scary to the person on the other end. But the whole idea of a single shot? Agree...just not smart and i hope criminals get dumber...lol
