 For all the big talk from Herr Bloomberg, even his draconian efforts can't stop idiots with guns. That should say something.

Yep, and they will call for even more gun control, even though gun control will never solve the problem and it hasn't so far.  It never will.

I hear that a lot of the wounded were wounded by the LEO missing their target and hitting citizens instead.  Its been proved that civilians actually have a much better track record for hitting their target and not hitting bystanders than do the police.  We usually train more, and we also know that an attorney is attached to everyone of our bullets, where as LEO will get away with it scot free if they shoot a bystander.
