I found this interesting:

The busiest month for gunfire was May.The busiest day was Dec. 25, Christmas.
And if you want to avoid getting shot, it’s best to lie low from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. on Saturdays. That was the busiest hour of the week for gunfire. The slowest hour was 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Mondays.

I also found it interesting (and unsurprising) how quickly the author brushed aside any Orwellian fears of mass surveillance. [Shake]

Nothing much good happens after midnight. Words spoken to me in 1978 by a wise and experienced man of the street. True then, true today.

The mice go where the cheese is. Criminals have always preyed on each other-that's the thing never addressed in most stats.

772 rounds fired in a year?[LOL]





Lightweights! That's less than I ran through 3 rifles the last time I went shooting....

[Alpha2]

Lightweights, seriously. Got ammo?

More big brother baloney. Pretty soon you won't be able to go to the can in peace.

On a side note but similar, Denver PD is making a big foofaraw about their new "Spot Shotters" that alert PD to gunshots.
My kid was watching a video on cars and some had "Anti Lag" on them which causes hellacious backfires.
I mean some of these things sounded like machine guns.
Could you imagine if a bunch of street racers all drove around setting off the Spot Shotters at the same time?

Hmmm...in a past life working security for Section 8 housing, those were the same hours that drug activity was high and the same hours the place looked like a ghost town.

Coincidence? [tinhat]

Yep, I didn't realize this was in use here, until someone I know posted this on facebook this weekend:
