Inside a car is OK, right?

Take away the guns and let the fists do the talking. So many drunken disputes that escalated into murder, just because those involved were carrying guns. 75% of the time a gun was involved.

If you look down there at the bottom, gang related killings are the last on the list.

The felony line refers to :Felony types include homicides committed during a rape, robbery, burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, arson, and violations of prostitution and commercial vice laws, other sex offenses, narcotic drug laws, and gambling laws.

Other contains a lot of "passion" related crime

The statistics are from the U.S. Department of Justice.

So random arguments would end up with less dead people, if there were fewer guns involved.

I find that hard to believe.

A garage connected to your house is inside obviously.

He would already know I'm there, ya know, with the cars outside, the walking around, tv on, lights on and all the chatter.

Oh ok, so if his bike was in the garage he could have shot them then.

Glad we got that sorted.
