Gunned down: the teenager who dared to walk across his neighbour's prized lawn

So this cranky old fart murders a 15 year old boy and thinks it's alright. I'd be scared to death if I knew that 40% of my neighbours (some of whom are extreme curmudgeons) might own guns.
Guns in America
32.6% of adults keep guns in or around their home , according to a 2002 survey. An estimated 40% own a gun
30,136 people were killed by firearms in the US in 2003; 730 of these were accidental
1.3m rifles were manufactured in the US in 2004; as well as an estimated 294,000 revolvers; 728,500 pistols; and 732,000 shotguns. Only 132,50o of these weapons were exported

Some of these end up on our streets and kill Canadians. There seems to be more concern south of the border about the smuggling of Canadian marijuana into the US than about lethal weapons in the hands of lunatics.

The Florida House Judiciary Committee has temporarily tabled HB 129, a Guns in the Workplace bill, that would force businesses in Florida to allow guns on their own privately held, business-owned property, whether they want to or not! This insane legislation is being advanced even though:
77% of workplace homicides are committed with firearms.
Murder is the leading cause of injury-related death for women in the workplace.
60% of major employers said in a 2005 survey that disgruntled employees had threatened to assault or kill senior managers in the last year.
A May 2005 study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that workplaces where guns were permitted were 5 to 7 times more likely to be the site of a workplace homicide compared to workplaces where guns are prohibited.
