clipped from www.time.com Jacquita Baker is soft-spoken single mother from Kentwood, Michigan, near Grand Rapids. She works as an administrative assistant at the Grand Rapids Urban League, and is studying criminal justice at a local university. As of Monday, she's also the proud owner of a shotgun. Why bear arms right now? "The economy played a large part in my decision," says Baker, 27. "When people don't have jobs, they might go breaking into people's homes. I want to be safe in my home." She's not alone. Three recent tragedies have thrust gun control back into the national discussion. Vietnamese immigrant in Binghamton, N.Y. shot and killed 13 people at an immigrant service center before taking his own life. On Saturday, a Pittsburgh man opened fire on three police officers responding to a domestic disturbance call. All three officers died. Also on Saturday, a man from Graham, Wash., distraught that his wife planned to leave him for another man, shot and killed his five children before committing suicide.
