If people are so worried about guns, then why aren't we talking
about handguns? Handgun-related homicides are much more frequent
than "long gun" related ones, by an order of magnitude (6501 vs.
774 in 2009), according to gunpolicy.org
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-states">http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-states</a>). Not
every rifle-related homicide is a spree shooting, either.<br>
<br>
Not that I want the gun control advocates to go there, mind you,
but that would at least make sense. Otherwise, I have to conclude
that it's the sensationalism of a spree shooting that has
everybody incensed. I guess nobody gets fired up about the 17 (on
average) people of all ages that are killed by handguns every day
in the U.S., probably because it doesn't dominate the media for
months at a time every time it happens, like we see with spree
shootings. <br>
