What a brilliant idea! Can't remember the last time I read of a person being killed by a domestic cat..

I think it was in the Film "The American President"  (from which the series  "The West Wing" was based) The Martin Sheen character says

"for reasons passing all understanding, the American people refuse to equate gun related crime to guns"  


I won't do a comparison with gun crime in Australia, as it would seem as if I'm gloating, which I am not. America's  gun culture and  horrific number of deaths is deeply  saddening. I have no easy solution. Australia's response to our last mass shooting , in 1996, probably wouldn't work in the US.

Excellent point - there IS no easy solution.   It is primarily a culture thingy.  Until USians decide that human lives are more important than their stoopid fucking Second Amendment, these shootings are going to continue apace.
