Another school shooting

[Institutional Control]

I'm starting to think maybe we should destigmatize suicide a bit. Maybe a PSA campaign "kill yourself. Before you kill someone else." Seems shitty fighting tragedy with tragedy like that, by maybe it could help.

Maybe the message is getting out there.


Dallas pastor's wife kills herself with pistol outside of Texas gun shop
Harriet Deison, 65, was found dead in her car outside of McClelland Gun Shop on Saturday

Also I hadnt even thought that one day you could be able to 3d print your own gun

Somebody didn't go to FattyFest...

It's so painfully obvious this crap is written by people who don't have a clue as to what they are talking about.

Bullets are so easy to come by that it's clear that huge stockpiles exist throughout the country. But unlike guns, bullets are single use

Really!?

Especially when the Department of Homeland Security purchased 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition earlier this year, when the war in Iraq only used 70 million a year.

There's a point made somewhere there, including that the DHS purchased 450 million rounds of .40 cal hollow point ammo. That's only used on people. (It's handgun ammo for those squeamish about guns)

Why would Homeland Security purchase ammo that's not intended for use on people?

To keep down the white tail population.

Interesting.  I do think its noteworthy though that schools are safer than ever.

TAFT, Calif. — A student was shot and wounded at a rural San Joaquin Valley high school Thursday and another student was taken into custody, officials said.

The shooting occurred about 9 a.m. at Taft Union High School, a community of fewer than 10,000 people amidst oil and natural gas production fields about 120 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

I didn't think any of the stats were particularly interesting or particularly relevant, (other than the number of guns which seems to be interpreted differently than other has and had no citation associated with it).

I mean, cars are safer than they've ever been, too. Should manufacturers stop trying to make them safer?

[bubbles4ksu]

1. Violent crime down - Economic prosperity and abortion are the cause of this.
2. This one boasts that mass shootings are lower now than at the start of the Great Depression.
3. Schools aren't safe enough, obvs.
4. Correlation =/= causation
5. There isn't a solid definition for assault weapons. also, the whole gunshow loophole.

Pretty much in NY.  Find out tomorrow about everywhere else.  I don't have any guns but this is a bit concerning.  Also, if he is really going to announce these proposals surrounded by kids..... I mean, I don't even.

I find it ironic that the dem's are so adamant to 'protect da' children'. Yet Abortion is no biggie cause that involves CHOICES!
 

Death row inmates deserve to live too though.

Yep, I bet all of the criminals that use guns for criminal things are pissed now that they can do less criminal things with their guns.
