Virginia (19%), Georgia (13%), South Carolina (13%), North Carolina (10%), and Florida (7%).

The sons of the Confederacy will get those damn yankees yet.

New York AG published a report finding that 87% of the guns used in crimes in NYC came from out of state.

Yeah, been saying that for years here.  But no, states with the strictest gun control have the worst crime rates, blah, blah, blah.  You know, the usual bullshit.

Private investigator shoots 13-year-old amid attempted carjacking in southwest Baltimore

A former Baltimore police officer who now works as a private investigator shot a 13-year-old boy in the head after the boy tried to carjack him in southwest Baltimore's Carroll Park on Wednesday, police said.

The 13-year-old is in critical condition and homicide detectives are investigating due to the severity of his injuries, police spokesman Donny Moses said.

Around 3:45 p.m., the former officer, aged 73, was sitting in his car when a group of young men approached. One teen opened the car door and displayed a replica handgun, which the man thought was a real gun, police said. The 73-year-old then shot the boy.

The man was an officer for six years and resigned in 1974. He had a valid handgun permit issued by Maryland State Police and was being interviewed by police, Moses said. Police did not name the man.

I have to say if you cannot shoot somebody who draws a gun on you what exactly is the purpose of a handgun permit? Seems like that kid did something insanely reckless and paid the price.

So yeah, if you're going to bluff with that, you better not get it called.  Dumbass.

Toddler killed in Arkansas road rage incident; manhunt underway

(CNN)Police are searching for the gunman who shot and killed a toddler during an apparent road rage incident in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Investigators are offering a $40,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction of the person who shot 3-year-old Acen King.

The incident began Saturday evening when a motorist behind the grandmother grew agitated that she was not moving quickly enough at a stop sign, Little Rock Police Department spokesman Lt. Steven McClanahan said.

The man started honking his horn. The grandmother honked her horn. Then, police said, the man got out of his black Chevrolet Impala and fired into her car.

"One shot was fired and it went through the vehicle and hit the child," McClanahan said.

Not realizing that the child had been hit, the woman drove on to a JC Penney about 9 miles away. She realized her grandson was wounded when she went to get him out of the car, according to a police incident report.

Police received a call shortly before 6:30 p.m. that a child passenger had been shot.

The boy was transported to Arkansas Children's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A 1-year-old child was also in the car at the time of the shooting, according to the police report.

Police said the grandmother and the slain boy had no relationship with the suspect.

"I certainly have no information to say that anyone in this family has done anything to cost this young person's life," Little Rock Police Department Chief Kenton Buckner told CNN affiliate KARK. "But this is about as frustrated as you can be as a public safety official or just a plain citizen."

Homicide detectives are conducting an investigation.

The fatal shooting marks Little Rock's 40th homicide of the year, police said. Last year, there were 31 homicides in the city.

Don't bluff with firearms to start with.  You one at someone, you either have to be willing to shoot them, or willing to let them shoot you.  And to be clear, by shoot, in this context, I mean kill, because shooting to wound isn't really a thing outside of TV and movies.  And if the firearm you're bluffing with is a toy, that pretty much eliminates "willing to shoot them" and leaves you with "willing to let them shoot you".

Or, to put it another way, don't bring a toy gun to a real gunfight.

I'm sure he can put some rails on it to remedy that.
