http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/crazed-bus-shooter-hoping-blood-bath-prosecutors-article-1.986394?localLinksEnabled=false">The NY Daily News reports

Damel Burton carried a 9-mm. Ruger pistol with four rounds in it, and was carrying another nine rounds

The crazed ex-con who killed his girlfriend's son then opened fire inside a Queens bus packed with commuters, killing another man, was hoping for a bloodbath, prosecutors charge.

"The defendant stated that he would have shot more people but the gun jammed," prosecutor Suzanne O'Hare said in Queens Criminal Court during Damel Burton's arraignment.


Recently, http://mikeb302000.blogspot.com/2011/11/million-rugers-in-one-year.html">when I mentioned that Ruger was a crap gun, no one seemed to agree. I suppose Damel Burton would.

Another thing the pro-gun crowd keep denying is that gun availability plays a part in these situations. http://mikeb302000.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-york-to-tighten-up-gun-laws.html">Can you imagine that in New York City, where there are extremely strict gun control laws, a guy as crazy and paranoid as Damel, with a long felony record to boot, was able to get his hands on a gun. It's unbelievable and it's unacceptable. But the explanation is simple, and so is the solution.

What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
