Shooting at college campus in Houston

[gehrheart]

I suspect that violent crime (as reported by FBI Crime stats) is still down, but the press is making a big deal out of every shooting to push an agenda....but that is just me being suspicious...

Agreed!
However, non-violent crime is going up. The number thefts is really going up. I have noticed a large number of cars as of late with plastic windows, I ssume just like mine, from smash and grabs. I personaly know six people this month alone that have had that happen... And I dont know a lot of people.
anytime a gun is used the media is all over it to make it as big as a deal as possable to make a point...
I dont understand there agenda though..

Sadly, this plays right into the leftist agenda. Bystanders were hit. They will use this as an argument to get rid of all guns and carry. They will say carrying a gun would not have saved the bystanders in this case, and that banning all guns would have. Libs...

becoming a daily occurance..
Not good.

But its not just shootings.. Its crime in general! everywhere!
Things are getting worse...

Actually it's becoming a daily NEWS MEDIA CIRCUS. Shootings have been happening for years, but now the media is beating the drum for more anti-gun laws so they hype it up.

Gun Free Zone" campus sticker. Check this out...

bob - didn't you know if you push the gun forward while holding it sideways you increase the FPS of the round?

I thought that was the process for "curving the bullet." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMroqOpIvTc
