Details are sketchy, but if it is correct that a man killed a former co-worker with a .45 pistol, then shot it out with police who killed him in the heart of New York City:
* A .45 is a very heavy weapon. the .45 semi-automatic was originally a military sidearm. Why should police officers and civilians end up in its line of fire on crowded streets and sidewalks?
* The shooting took place in one of the most densely-populated spots in the world - - near the Empire State Building. How long will it take for the pro-gun movement to say that the shootout would have been shorter or less harmful - - the shooter and his target are dead and at least a half-dozen other people injured - - if everyone had been carrying a gun and returned fire?
Near 34th and Fifth Ave!
