Oh yea?  Refering to each of the above:

1)  The gangs are doing this throughout our country.

2)  Kent State University in Ohio.  No less peaceful than Tiananmin really.

3)  New Orleans Police Department, New York Police Department.

4)  Los Angeles Police Department, New Orleans Police Department, New York
	Police Department.
	

I have only touched the surface of similarities.  Things will only get worse
as the government chips away at a person's right to defend themself.
PS - I have never owned a gun and probably never will.  I don't like them.
When you buy one, act responsibly.  Buy a gun - go shooting.  Get stupid with
it - go to jail.
