Nine killed in Dayton, Ohio

[Rev. Rye]

100 people on average even outside mass shootings are dying by firearm per day! 36,000 on average per year. I don't care about the majority, ENOUGH people are, and even with those that do die every day, most firearm fatalities start with a legally purchased firearm. But it is also true that it does not help that the POTUS is pandering to bigots. Bad combo to have a climate of easy access to firearms, and sell hate as well. 

Our laws have to change, PERIOD! It isn't enough to say "Don't blame me, I don't do that." Nobody is talking about you, I am talking about our laws and one industry's CEOs whom are obstructing any meaningful change, regardless of motive.

Half of those 36000 are suicides.

" well if they didn't have access to a gun they wouldn't kill themselves"

Bullshit.


People use a gun when they are fully committed to whacking themselves. It' s not a halfassed attempt.

Get rid of guns and the number of people stepping off high buildings will go up just as fast as the people go down...

Or you could figure on using other means like drug overdoses, which will be less likely to work. Anyone who's done the slightest bit of research into suicide knows that, while men are three times more likely to actually kill themselves than women, women are three times more likely than men to try. And part of why this is is because men are more likely to shoot themselves, because they're more likely to actually have guns to shoot themselves with.
