14-year-old Detroit girl says that a neighbor shot and killed JoJo, her 1-year-old Chihuahua, because he wasnt on a leash and was making too much noise.
The licensed gun owner, however, told police that he gunned down the tiny dog because it was threatening him.
The girl, who WJBK declined to identify, said that she had gone inside for a few minutes while JoJo ran free in the yard. When she came back outside, the neighbor warned her to take the dog back in the house.
When he saw my dog running out of the bushes, , Im going to handle him myself, and then I guess my dog had run back up on him again, and he just shot him, the teen recalled as she cradled the dead dog in a blanket.

Licensed Gun Nut stands his ground against a 14-year-old girl's chihuahua and kills it.
Well I guess he was a law-abiding and responsible gun owner....until he wasn't? Or maybe he was just standing his ground?
Either way I'm sure the NRA will call for more guns and licensed "law-abiding" gun owners so that America can be a safer place.

Fox News Ratings Plunge To New Lows...MSNBC Gloats In Press Release
Fox News Ratings: Hannity, Van Susteren Plunge To New Lows In Demo
Posted: 04/02/2013 5:24 pm EDT
The cable news industry was hit with another month of tough ratings news.
Every network saw its ratings drop from 2012, a politics-heavy election year that was guaranteed to spike audiences. In primetime, Fox News suffered the biggest plunge, falling 33 percent from its 2012 numbers. CNN fell a nearly equally precipitous 28 percent, while MSNBC dropped 4 percent.
Fox News, which has had several well-publicized ratings issues over the past few months, saw its primetime numbers fall to new lows in the all-important A25-54 category for many shows. MSNBC gloated in its press release, saying that hosts Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren had their worst demo ratings ever. Bill O'Reilly's demo ratings were also off by 26 percent.

MSNBC topped CNN in total viewers and demo viewers, and saw a 30 percent increase in daytime viewers in the A25-54 demo.
