Gruesome indeed. The story came from Brazil, but I also read that 11,250 Americans were shot to death in 2004, presumably by their fellow citizens, and 16,000 shot themselves. A sobering thought. Buy a gun and help the jihad.
Guns are everywhere in America. Virtually anyone can get their hands on one. Why wouldn't they be the weapon of choice. The gun nuts, the NRA types, like to say guns don't kill, people do. Duh, but they do it so much more efficiently and easily with guns.
