What fascinates me is the fact that violent crime is in decline even as the number of guns, gun owners, and concealed handgun permit holders nationwide continues to increase.

You are correct and I've seen both anti-gun and pro-gun factions abuse the facts. It can be a truly bi-partisan effort.

Uber Driver With Concealed Carry Permit Shoots Gunman In Logan Square
CHICAGO (STMW) — An Uber driver put his concealed carry permit to use Friday night when he pulled a shotgun and opened fire on a man he saw firing a pistol into a group of people on a Logan Square sidewalk, according to prosecutors.
Six blasts from his shotgun injured a 22-year-old man identified as Everardo Custodio.
Custodio suffered wounds to his shin, knee and lower back and was still in Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center on Sunday, when Cook County Judge Peggy Chiampas refused to grant bail on charges of aggravated battery with a firearm and illegal possession of a firearm.
The 47-year-old Uber driver “was acting in self-defense and in the defense of others,” Assistant State’s Attorney Barry Quinn said.

Here's a bill I'm all for .
DeLauro Introduces “AR-15 Upgrade Act of 2015″
Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.)introduced H.R. 1745, the “Support Assault Firearms Elimination and Reduction for our Streets Act,” to provide a “$2,000 refundable tax credit” to anyone who turns an “assault weapon” over to a law enforcement agency.
.................................................
I could make a AR-15 for about $500 and get enough back to purchase a new AR-15 with upgrades .
What a great deal .

the problem is that the AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle... TOO much misinformation out there

The misinformation is from the anti-gun crowd that thinks all guns are assault weapons .

Kudos to the Uber driver for taking care of business, but it sounds like his marksmanship needs a bit of improvement. 6 rounds with a shotgun and the bad guy is still alive? They should have been wiping what was left of him off the sidewalk with a Squeegee and a ShamWow.

No stripes with paisley, so everything's cool. Jackets ought to be buttoned.
I'd sleep better at night knowing that there is one less idiot who's going to run around shooting randomly into crowds.

"Shotgun".... is not correct.
The driver pulled out a handgun and fired six shots at Custodio, hitting him several times, according to court records.

HA! I'd totally do that. Lmao
There was mis-reporting in the Chicago press originally (imagine that) that it was a shotgun. It was an XD-45.

What's wrong with this picture (besides crimes against fashion)?
That tie sure doesn't work with that plaid suit IMO. Fact is, not crazy about the plaid suit either but then I'm not a suit person at all.

Sober,
Got any skinny on this? I like anyone that throws grenades and disrupts the status quo. We need more of this from all sides of the political isles IMO.
