Reporter/camera man murdered.

[Napoléon]

You'd have been capable of whatever it was you were capable of -without- the gun.  Guns aren't magic, they don't change who you are or what you're prepared to do.  People don't say to themselves "well, normally I wouldn't shoot this street corner up/kill myself, but....since I have a gun........". 

Actually, yeah they fucking do. 

Guns do change what people are prepared to do. This is the same bullshit argument as when people try to make out like you could just as easily run someone over with a car or stab them to death. It's piss poor. 

I know for a fact that I've had some dark times in my life too, and I can tell you right now if my parents had a gun in the household like they likely would if we were a yankee family, I don't know if I'd still be here typing this today. Bottom line is guns make shit a hell of a lot easier. If I were to kill myself, I'd 100% choose a gun to do it. Only thing stopping me from jumping off a bridge already or smashing my car into oncoming traffic is that I'm a coward. A gun would eliminate a lot of that doubt and fear. It would take a lot less to pull a trigger than to slit my wrists. 

I'm sure it's the same for a lot of people who consider suicide. 

But likewise for those twisted fucks who have intentions of killing others. Yeah, a gun absolutely makes it easier. You're way more capable with a gun than without. You're talking absolute shit here Rhythm.
