Virginia Senator Creigh Deeds has been hospitalized for a stab wound, and his son has reportedly been shot to death.
Will post when I know more.

My first thought is whether or not the Senator shot his own son.

And by guns you mean people. If not, then you're a complete idiot and part of the problem.

Completely false.

Gun ownership has gone up in recent years while gun violence has decreased. Just because people report it more doesn't make it true.

Double post but the article I posted doesn't directly address this. Look at Chicago though. There's a reason it's referred to as Chiraq even though they have really tough gun laws.

Correlation doesn't equal causation, you moron.

And for those saying gun bans won't decrease violence, it worked in Austrailia after they implemented a ban after a mass shooting. Guess how many mass shootings they've had since then? None! OMG miracle!

Well you can't shoot people without guns and people are pussies so if they can't pull a trigger they're less likely to kill. Hard to argue that, not many people getting shot here in Canada :)

One would think though that less guns would equal less gun crime. I was just pointing out the fact that is false not that one was the cause of the other.
