Has anyone heard about a shooting tonight, possibly in Russellville. Heard the victim was medi-vac'd to HSV. I was told a name of the shooter and he is from Russellville, but info is only from a phone call.

If this guy is a criminal, he would have used a knife, a screwdriver, a rock, anything.
Outlaw all kitchen utensils and work tools.

Violent Crime Increased When Countries Banned Guns
Gun-control advocates conveniently ignore the fact that the countries with the highest homicide rates have gun bans, says researcher John R. Lott Jr. The three worst public shootings in the past year all occurred in Europe, which has enacted everything American gun-control proponents favor.
Around the world, from Australia to England, countries that have recently strengthened gun-control laws with the promise of lowering crime have instead seen violent crime soar.
* In the four years after the United Kingdom banned handguns in 1996, gun crime rose by an astounding 40 percent.
* Since Australia's 1996 laws banning most guns and making it a crime to use a gun defensively, armed robberies rose by 51 percent, unarmed robberies by 37 percent, assaults by 24 percent and kidnappings by 43 percent.
* While murders in Australia fell by 3 percent, manslaughter rose by 16 percent.
Finally, he notes, there exists not one single academic study showing that the federal Brady Act, assault-weapons bans, state waiting periods, background checks, one-gun-a-month rules or safe-storage laws reduce violent crime. Some research even finds that these rules increase crime.

LOL,,the "American Enterprise Institute", are you serious? I'm surprised that Dick Cheney didn't write it, after all, he's the poster boy for responsible gun ownership as well as an AEI patron.
How do you expect to be taken seriously, Sam?

If he didn't have access to a gun, no one would have gotten shot. Get the guns, society doesn't need them around.

Just hang a sign out by your mailbox that says "NO GUNS HERE".

That, or his next door neighbors could put up signs that say "my neighbor doesnt believe in guns, so I wont bother to protect him with mine either."

Nope, just guns.

Your own way of thinking?
I am sorry, you think the government should protect you from everything. I hope no one tries to rob you as you take your gov't check to the bank.

In countries where guns are banned they still have crimes commited with guns. Now how is that possible? Opie?

Even if guns were made illegal and banned(which I don't see happening anytime soon) there would always be guns around and available. Look at drugs as a case in point... In all honesty they would probably become easier to get.
Just my honest opinion.
On a side note: If this story is really true then they sure are keeping it hush hush.

Sounds to me like the issue is crappy law enforcement.

It's against the law for a citizen of Mexico to own a gun.
I wonder what their violent crime statistics are like?
I think they just happen to have the highest murder rates in the world.
Keep blaming law enforcement Opie

It is a law enforcement issue. It's pretty well established where Mexico's guns are coming from and it points to shabby law enforcement around straw purchases of firearms.
Most of the problems of society can be laid at the feet of Religion or Law Enforcement.
