Credit for this goes to AWR Hawkins in his (as usual) fine article over at Breitbart discussing the sure-to-come flailing over gun control, as called for by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

But for those who may want to find it from time to time I thought I'd include the article's list of shooting events that were conducted using firearms that had been acquired legally and through a background check. Given the task & purpose of 'the Letter' - now just over some 8 years ago - it seems worth contemplating.
