Quote of the Day...

By Kellie Hoehn, housewife. Texas housewife:
I wasn't going to let them get to my babies.
Said while recalling earlier events, in which two armed intruders attempted to enter their home – but she grabbed the muzzle of one of their shotguns and hollered for her husband (Keith). In the end, one intruder was dead (with his own shotgun!), and the other was critically wounded.

The police are not pressing charges, saying the pair was simply defending their home.

    Good Guys: 2

    And...
    Here are gun-related deaths per 100,000 people in the world's 36 richest countries (1994)

    Of course, we all know by now America is full of gun-totin' nut cases... I've often wondered why we are the most gun-violent country in the world. Anyone know why?
