Doing the Numbers in DC

There have been 14 homicides this month: Three on the 1st. Two on the 2nd. One each on the 4th and 5th. Two on the 7th. And one each day from July 8 through Wednesday.
Since the antis would have us assume guns are the cause of this, let's do some basic math.

There are approximately 550,000 people who live in DC. There are approximately 4 million NRA members.

Let's see, 550 thou goes into 4 mil about 7.27 times, so multiply that by 14...

So there should have been roughly 102 homicides committed by the Association's membership in the past two weeks...

Actually, that's not a fair comparison, since only a fraction of DC residents, those who ignore the law and agents of the state [insert sarcasm here], are armed, whereas pretty much 100% of NRA members are armed to the teeth. So the NRA death toll ought to be a lot higher...

I don't get it. Something's not adding up.

We're the Only Ones With Youthful Ardor Enough

A Miami-Dade County detective who lives in Southwest Ranches has been arrested for allegedly posting videos of child pornography on the Internet.
There must be some misunderstanding--maybe he's a member of the North American Marlon Brando Look-Alikes...
