        In the last couple of years there were 5 murders here on the
island portion of Newfoundland that I recall. Two of them involved
knives, one was done with a car (jilted girl ran over ex-boyfriend),one
was done with a lead pipe and in the other a guy was basically kicked
and beaten to death. Guess what, NO GUNS. The score was five out of five
for the murderers.The victims didn't have a *much* better chance of
survival. It doesn't take a gun to give an edge of certainty to an act
of murder. That's pretty obvious.
