Ongoing gun violence/injury thread

It definitely seems like you've reached a conclusion and you're finding ways to bend to that conclusion (excluding numbers for dubious reasons, using hunches, etc.)

the original statement was that cars cause more deaths than guns. That was based on accidents and homocides caused by guns vs people that die in car accidents. I discounted (or actually outright ignored) suicides. Some were saying that they don't discount suicides and showing numbers to suggest that guns increased suicide rates. I can't argue with the numbers but proposed some contradicting data that I could quickly find (i'm not interested in putting a lot of effort into this). However, at the end of the day it's really suicides that I discount, not what caused them....I just didn't want to get into a sensitivity discussion about suicide
 
The reality doesn't change. There is no logical excuse not to have background checks and registration or every gun sale. There is no logical reason for the public to have 15, 20, 30 or 90 round devices. There's no reason why ammo sales don't go through background checks as it is illegal for many of the same people who can't buy guns to buy ammo.

Clearly
 
They gave the kid Cheez-its and some toy cars to play with...apparently the kid has Asperger's. I have to imagine the poor kid is going to start losing it if he hasn't already.

he shot one of them on his balcony, but then proceeded to climb a flight of stairs and enter their apartment, where he shot the other one as he was attempting to escape through a window

Agreed. Seems reasonable. Justifiable homicide most likely. Doubt charges are pressed.
 
GREENVILLE, SC - A 3-year-old shot himself in the head while playing with a pink gun he mistook for a toy.

Didn't somebody post that gun or another pink gun earlier in this thread? I think I said it looks like the old school NES gun.
