2. Not worth killing someone over. I'd tackle them....maybe.

3, I never said I had good aim.

1. right...

2. you don't think rationally in that situation. i'm surprised with all the action movies you've been in you've never been burgled.

3. i'm too tired to go back and check but you've said you have a better aim than people you know and you go to target practic 6 million times a week. i'd have thought that means you can hold a gun straight

1. Glad you agree

2. I could have lit up the fella leaving my mother's yard but knew I couldn't. He had been harassing us for over 5 years. What did you about a bike again?

3. I go to the range. Yes. Uh huh.

No, it is not. The most common cause of murder is an argument*

*Arguments include brawls due to the influence of narcotics or alcohol,
disagreements about money or property and other arguments.

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.
