Oh No, Its a "Gun Crime"!

[tie1on]

A crime is a crime is a crime! So why are crimes being catagorized by how it is carried out? Gun crimes, hate crimes even knife crimes. Why does it matter if you kill someone with a gun or a hammer? They are dead just the same. Can you get a harsher punishment for commiting a "Hate Crime" as apossed to the same crime that has not been labled as a "Hate Crime"? And who decides if its a hate crime and how do they determine it?
Ive been thinking about this for a while and I know why they are keeping statistics on "Gun Crimes". Just another way to try and outlaw guns. But what is the pupose of the new buzz words "Hate Crime"?

They (crimes) are all different categories and do carry different penalties based on their nature.

Just another way for liberals to add to the law in a back door way circumventing the constitution the CLAIM to uphold. What a joke.

The NRA magazines have about 2 pages each issue that tells stories of how people were saved by their personal firearm. This is just one publication, not all the news papers throughout the country.
Ask someone that has had an encounter with a robber,theif,assult,or deadly crime,what they think about "The Right To Bear Arms," if they were armed.
