I wasn't able to find any statistics on what percentage of that involves someone under the influence of alcohol as the shooter, but I'm guessing it's a healthy chunk.

Sounds right, at any rate.

Somebody should tell the 'libyooorawls' to ban cars. They pollute our beautiful planet and kill more people than those nasty old guns.
