People get shot in Memphis all the time, probably a fatality once every 36 hours, probably 95 percent by guns. Also, about 90-95 percent of those shot and killed are poor and black. About 250 bodies a year, in a city of maybe 700,000 people. The killers don't care about the law, gun control or any of that. Kill or be killed in the inner city, and you would be surprised of the stupid things people get killed for.
No one really gives a shit about them, unless it's a baby, and yes, babies sometimes get killed too. There was a little black girl who is about two years old who was shot, I believe in a car. Despite a strong media report about it, no one has been caught, hopefully yet.
