I seriously think New York would be even safer if Gun Laws were less restricted. I had a shitty day and you stepped on my shoe during rush hour. Boom boom right in your head. Guns for all ... brilliant idea.

"Wingate" is the name of a neighborhood? Tragic story.

See, this is why the founding father created the second amendment (among other reasons) is to fight back injustices. I seriously think New York would be even safer if Gun Laws were less restricted. The Criminal Element can't do much when every person around them is loaded.

great, since the third one got away now the store owner has to keep looking over his shoulder for the revenge payback.

Where's Charles Bronson when you need him? The City needs Paul Kersey.

I am always heartened by stories of New Yorkers fighting back against crime. I hope the city does the right thing and reduces the ridiculous fees and red tape associated with getting a gun permit in New York. It shouldn't cost us close to $500 to exercise our Constitutional rights.

I wouldn't say good to anyone being shot and killed but robbers today better know that store owners ain't getting robbed without a fight! Like the Wu-Tang clan said, "You got guns, I got guns too!"
