Another gun discussion part deux.

[Rev. Rye]

they are not in fact as common as the fake news portrays, but they do happen and they happen because again sheer ignorance and insensitivity to guns and gun violence. if every timmy had to shoot his old yeller when the dog got mortally sick or wounded then there would be a far greater respect for guns and their usage. this is what happens when you shield your children from everything, they grow up not respecting anything even life itself.

Which is why I used actual statistics and not news sources. Because news stories tend to not put individual stories into perspective to show how common gun deaths are per capita or how those rates tally against the rest of the world. And for America, we don’t do very well by any objective sense of the word. Unless, of course, one of your metrics for doing well involves “how fast do these people kill themselves or each other?”
