    Looks like you missed this too:



    You think people weren't gonna read the article?

    Is it almost a 1000? Yes.

    And did I say they were all gun related? No. learn to read.

    Also I'm totally fine with people committing suicide by whatever means, even assisted suicide. Go for it. Effects me and the safety of others...not at all.



    Also I didn't realize 2015 is only 2 years away! OH NOES IT'S NOT WORSE THAN CAR DEATHS YET DOE, DON'T WORRY. BUT IN 2015 WE WILL AGREE FOR GUN CONTROL! .[COLOR="White"]or find something else that it's only purpose isn't pain/death and say we should take that away too if we're gonna take guns away![/COLOR]

    Although I more agree with you on this point, I think the difference is between guns and other forms of suicide is that the other types generally give the person time to back out. Guns do deliver death very quickly and efficiently. If there were less guns around less people would end up killing themselves (even though the same number of people will attempt suicide). Which means that yes there is an under lying problem here that banning guns won't solve.

    Mental health issues and gun issues aren't mutually exclusive.

    No one is saying mental health isn't an issue.

    And anyway, you can say that suicide incidents have little to do with guns because a person can easily kill himself another way. That's true. But what about innocent people that want to live and and in an incident like this are trying to resist death? 27 deaths in this case would've probably been like 7 or 8 if Lanza was chasing everyone around with a knife instead. Still a tragedy, but lives are saved.

    I think i'm missing the point here. What exactly is the need for assault rifles / semi-automatics? Hand guns & single shot hunting rifles aren't good enough?

    What are these "hunters" planning to do to that deer? Spray it with bullets?

    I asked this same question. The answer was better accuracy and some other nonsense.
