    22nd Ave and Indian School Rd. The gunshots, family fights, PD chopper flying orbits on a nightly basis. Third world mentality. Sheriff Joe should sweep that area.

    Josie, since you're so worried about guns in AZ, you'd better move away because they're here to stay. Move to Great Britain - they have peace and tranquility in their gun-free country! http://bit.ly/o56ZgD Or you can move to Philadelphia, where the tight gun controls mean the "youths" don't form flash mobs and rob stores http://bit.ly/o6wxFM. Go, go, go! We won't miss you.
