The News Media out here likes to include all of the details. If 5 People were Shot no matter what the Police say they are going to report 5 People shot. Perhaps in Chicago it is not a novelty when several People are shot in one shooting incident is not News. Just another Day in the Big City.

Crimes are down; especially Murder from the Peak in the later 1980s but if I remember are at least double what they where at the time Kennedy was killed. There is also a difference between Murder and other Crimes. I believe the Murder Rate was extremly low in the early 1960s even compared to know. Not as sure on the other Crimes. In any event if you grew up just before or during the later 1980s you view is going to be that there is less Crime because that is true. Towards the end of the 1960s crime starts rise and the general trend is that it rises until the later 1980s.

If only we regulated guns the way we regulate cars today. Guns would have to pass national safety standards, they would be subject to recalls. They would be tested intermittently to demonstrate their performance. People would have to take a firearms safety class and pass an exam demonstrating their skill in safely operating a weapon before getting a license to use a firearm. They would have to register their guns every two years and pass a repeat safety inspection before being able to renew their firearm registration. They would be required to carry insurance covering gun accidents and injuries. And if they used a firearm while under the influence, they would lose their firearms and license indefinitely at great cost to themselves. Yes, let's compare guns and cars.

And the 2nd is like unto it. For a right, you don't need the permission of government to exercise it. This is the point of Heller. The state may regulate how you move it about and use it, but has no say in you owning one (unless you have lost your rights through some misbehavior on your part). Now we all know (or should know) that none of the rights of the constitution are absolute. You don't have a perfect right to own any weapon. Nukes are out. Etc. There is some minor infringement on owning a fully automagical firearm, but if you have the cash and pass the background check, you can own it. And a suppressor. Etc.
