Soccer Mom Wants To Stop Gun Violence

"Gun crimes are back on the rise in Connecticut, but new momentum -- and newly elected legislators -- offer hope of tackling strengthening gun laws, this suburban mom from Trumbull said as she brought a statewide campaign to Newhallville.

Lisa Labella (pictured as she was overheard saying "It's gotta be THIS big or no way...") was galvanized after the Columbine shootings to try to stop gun violence in schools. But, as she explained to the group ENUF (Empowering Neighborhoods United in Faith) in a Newhallville church Monday night, she soon realized she was worried about the wrong thing.

“I was worried that my kid could go to school and not come home, and while that’s something to worry about, the reality is that six to nine kids die every day from one on one incidents of gun violence, often in their communities.”

So she helped found Connecticut Against Gun Violence, whose mission is “to identify, develop, and promote passage of legislation designed to enhance gun safety.”

I'm going to pause right there for a moment to suggest that since 99.6% of legal gun owners the country over do not partipate in such criminal activity, Ms Labia, pardon, Labella, and her ick might be better off campaigning to rid the streets of the people THAT FRICKING DO.

Back to your regularly scheduled Loongram...

Labella passed out data showing how gun crimes decreased in Connecticut – and around the country – beginning around 1992 or 1993, but began to rise again in 2002. Homicides in the state committed with a firearm increased 76 percent between 2002 and 2006, according to the office of the Connecticut Medical Examiner. A color graph dramatized the racial disparity in gun-related homicides in the state: while nine percent of the population is African American and ten percent is Latino, 61 percent of homicide victims in 2006 were black, and 15 percent were Latino."

The racial disparity in gun-related homicides in the state, Ms Labia, is due in its entirety to the racial disparity of minorities killing the fuck out of one another more even than they do to non-minorities.

Case. Fricking. Closed. Leave our guns alone and go do something productive, okay, babe? Isn't there a whale in need of saving somewhere? Shh..what's that? Good grief it's a dolphin calling for help!

And please now. ENUF? How's about adding Shutup Horny Oldbroads to it, so you can get to the heart of the matter and call the thing Sho' Enuf?
