Gun Related deaths in America.
In the wake of the VT tragedy, Gun Control is under fire again. The NY Times has actually done a very interesting piece outlining the origin of the 81 (avg) Gun related deaths every day. And it’s somewhat shocking to say the least.
Graphic Here.
About 38% are Murder.
Almost 45% are White Male Suicides.
I give it 6-Months until Bullets are required to come with “Surgeon General” like warning labels for Grief counseling. Or a 1-800 # for the suicide hotline…
Stupid ass people we have in this country. What, 30,000 people die a year by guns and 300,000 die in car accidents? It just make me laugh. Hummm, cocaine has been illegal since 1914 by the Harrison Act, but somehow any citizen in the US could have some in 10 mins if they tried. I have an idea, lets make more regulations on the law abiding citizens and see if the only people than can get guns are the criminals… Ya, that sounds like it might work. How many nations say they never attempted to attack US soil during war times because they truly feared the American people fighting back? I have a novel concept for everyone, lets spend as much money on education, family development programs and financial stimulation of our economy as we spend on other nations and stupid fucking anti gun campaigns and we might see that our people can get along because they were raised properly…
