I think John Lennon was shot my Mark Chapman because Chapman was trying to impress Jodie Foster. He'd been harrassing her for a while (stalking today) and thought she would love him if he did that for her! It was nothing to do with any political ideas he might have had.
Steve's right about Martin Luther King though. He wasn't a 'civil rights' leader a he was campaigning for black rights only. He did nothing for women, homosexuals or the general populace as 'civil rights' implies. James Earl Ray shot him because he was black. Completely wrong about Lennon though.

steve - they will not meddle with the gun law - it stems back to the constituion and the right to bear arms - any move in that direction by the dems would bring Obama tumbling down. Visit the States and talk to the locals where you go and you will realise that this is akin to the debate over here about removal of the Royal Family and, north of the border, the separation of Scotland and England - i.e. the silent majority views are pretty well set and immovable.

When those two lads went berserk at Columbine High School neither of them had broken any law until they started shooting at other students. They had purchased their guns and ammunition legally (from Wal-Mart) and they carried it all through the streets and into the school legally!
The US gun lobby claim that guns are a deterrant and protection. As the anti-gun lobby says, if that's the case then the US would be the safest country in the world.
