if in 09 they had 100 requests and they complied with 76% that would be 76 records... but if requests have gone up 70% (170 requests) and its "down" to 66% compliance, that's still 92 records!

Guns have always been a part of our culture... 200+ years worth... if it was the guns, then why weren't there more mass shootings before 1999?

the difference is we dont respect each other as people anymore, we are just objects to be used and discarded.
