February 3, 2005 -- A high-school cheerleader was charged with murder yesterday for participating in the Lower East Side street attack that killed aspiring actress Nicole duFresne last week, cops said. (Linda) DuFresne, who spoke from her home in Minnesota, said she hopes her daughter's death will convince people to think more seriously about enacting stronger gun-control laws.

No kidding. If there is an example state for WHY GUN CONTROL LAWS DON'T WORK it is New York. What would have worked in this instance, would have been (intended) victims WITH GUNS.
Instead of saying, "What are you going to do, shoot us?" It could have been a defensive position with a 9mm semi drawn and aimed. But liberals, including DuFresne's mother, continue to blame guns instead of the wimp perp criminal as in this case.

Wrong on too many levels.
(1) Was the gun in NY legally owned? Somehow I doubt it. If the gun was already illegal, would another law have saved the actress? Obviously not.
(2) Was the gun legally carried? No. If the gun was already illegally carried, would another law have saved the actress? Obviously not.
(3) Her daughter is dead becuase she didn't have any common sense about weapons and thugs, and I now see where she got it. I'm sure the mom does not want to accept any blame for this, but with this attitude its hardly a surprise. Mom wants to blame a lack of laws - in a place where we have the most restrictive laws - for what was in reality a collossal mistake by her daughter, and an act of depravity by a thug. No collection of laws can take away the need for personal responsibility and good judgment.
Sad.

This is too stupid for words. The girl would have been killed no matter what the thugs had been using - they got mad, wanted to look big, and killed her, and they would have done so had they had to use their fists.
Mother is not listening. This has to do with the morality of the killers, not with their weapon.
I was just being facetious but on second glance it didn't come out the way it should have.......it was related to the person who said stronger child laws and I thought it was kind of inane so I was relating that would be just as dumb as if we had race laws as well.....didn't come out the way I meant it.......sorry.....
Liberalism IS mental illness.
…will convince people to think more seriously about enacting stronger gun-control laws.
If her daughter was packing, she might not be dead.
From the title, I thought this was going to be a story about Nicole Kidman getting breast implants.
How do they get any stronger than NYC's?????
Ah! Thanks, man. I needed an Anna Nicole Smith pic to set me right.
*Sigh* When will they ever learn?
Glad to be of service. :o)
The title made me think Governor Bush's daughter was in trouble again.
Another sign this "mother" is an idiot.
There was another murder in the same neighborhood this week. This one involved an elderly man using an unusual blade hidden in his cane. The NY Post headlines it "GEEZER 'STABS' VAGRANT WITH CANE BLADE"

Don't know what's going on here lately. It's usually a peaceful neighborhood.
R.I.P Nicole
LOL. We have a Nicole Ritchie, Anna Nicole and now Nicole Kidman reference.
Not to mention the fact that with legal concealed carry, the murderer may have never attempted to mug with impunity in the first place!!
