Let's tell the widow that there are fewer widows, or the little boy that fewer little boys are fatherless these days. Let's rejoice that gun crime, not gun violence, not gun deaths and injuries, but gun crime is causing fewer tragedies. Oh, happy day!

Let's forget all the idiots, including the NRA, who are out there with guns, who are shooting and killing, no, let's not remember them. Or the people they kill, or who are killed with their weapons. In my neighborhood a month or so ago an infant shot and killed itself with his Daddy's pistol. Daddy is a cop. But that probably won't show up.

Dick Cheney shot a fellow full in the face with a shotgun. No crime though, won't show up on statistics, wasn't even interviewed by cops until much, much later. What the hell, accidents happen, and they aren't crimes.

Rudy Guliani managed to have the crime rate in NY go down simply by chastizing those who reported them. It'simple.
