I recognize the hypocrisy of the gun control side's view that only gun murders are important to them. Going by the posts here on DU none of them ever seem to care about the other roughly 30% of murders committed with something other then a gun and they never seem to care when it's people in the inner cities and other troubled urban areas dying.
