Maybe it's the exposure to all that gunpowder?

Jeff Cooper On Inner-City Violence:
"…the consensus is that no more than five to ten people in a hundred who die by gunfire in Los Angeles are any loss to society. These people fight small wars amongst themselves. It would seem a valid social service to keep them well-supplied with ammunition."
Cooper's Corner, Guns and Ammo

Ted Nugent on South Africans:
"Apartheid isn't that cut and dry. All men are not created equal. The preponderance of South Africa is a different breed of man. I mean that with no disrespect. I say that with great respect. I love them because I'm one of them. They are still people of the earth, but they are different. They still
put bones in their noses, they still walk around naked, they wipe their butts with their hands … These are different people. (Me: I dunno, Ted, sounds like a pretty typical Aerosmith tour to me) You give 'em toothpaste, they fucking eat it ... I hope they don't become civilized. They're way ahead of the game."
--Detroit Free Press Magazine

Ted Nugent on homosexuality:
A "despicable act" performed by "guys that have sex with each other's anal cavities."
--Hannity and Colmes

Marion Hammer on police-maintained databases of gun buyers:
"We don't want government to know who has the guns. If the government knows who has guns and where to find them, they can ban them and then confiscate them."
--Miami Herald

"And Commander XOgswsk from the planet Feelldbub will sneak into our homes and eat our brains and steal all the pretty neon twinkies that go boing boing boing all night long and oh god where's my medication?" Hammer did NOT go on to say.

Careful with that scorn, there. I know of at least one very sane and reasonable individual who has seriously proposed offering free firearms training to LA gangbangers, on the basis that if the crackheads could HIT the broad side of a barn with a 12-guage at ten feet, they might kill off more of each other and mow down less innocent bystanders with stray gunfire in the process. Frankly, I think he has a point. Jeff Cooper's perfectly correct -- the largest single segment of gunshot deaths, after suicides, IS gangbangers murdering each other. I say, good riddance to'em. Maybe after they've selected each other all out of the gene pool, we can have our cities back.

And Marion Hammer? She's only citing history. It's happened before. Including in the US. It just hasn't ever happened *nationwide* in the US.

(Hint: Most of the first "gun control" laws, like New York's Sullivan law, were originally passed to keep arms out of the hands of those filthy, criminal, lower-class immigrant scum. Like, you know, blacks and the Irish. Yup, 1890s upper-class New York abhorred a mick with a gun like nature is reputed to abhor a vacuum.
[For something she supposedly abhors, she sure made one unholy hell of a lot of it.]
And that term "Saturday night special" that the gun control lobbyists toss around with such abandon? They've shortened it. Back when they first coined it, the full phrase was "Niggertown Saturday night special." It's quite enlightening to see how much of historical gun control in the US has been inherently racist.)
