Not the only case of school shootings; there are several others. But you miss my point. I'm not against gun ownership, but there are just too many available to the wrong people. *The U.S has an epidemic of gun-related violence.. The US has an epidemic of violence, period. *Even if you eliminate all gun crime from the statistics, the US still ranks up there. * That aside, my hypothesis is that most gun crime is drug related. Unfortunately for me, I have been unable to get the numbers to validate or disprove this. *Ever year, my main sources of information for this, the Uniform Crime Stastistics and NIH mortality reports, seem to have less and less detail. Guns are too easy to obtain, and there are too many of them. *Look at the school shootings, and we have had several. As the conservatives gain influence and power, I would expect the stats to fade into obscurity, and the lies we hear from them are simply unbelievable. One day there will be a reckoning.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - John Hickley ? |
