re: #236 Great White Snark

That entry sounds like I dismissed, rather than embraced gun control first. Of course the gun made it easier to kill.

OTOH in sporting places like a skeet range the guns abound an nobody gets hurt unless they shut a finger in a door. Go to a place with no guns at all but in a bunch of violent predatory or angry men and you still made a dangerous mistake.

The access to the tools and the motivation to do harm are both well deserving of our efforts as a culture. Thanks to dangerous rhetoric put out by the NRA and breathlessly repeated in the click bait ratings cycle, this becomes a more difficult point to make than it needed to be.

Well, there was that thing with Chris Kyle.

Realistically, if the CDC or other organizations were able to keep statistics of means used to kill…how do you think guns would stand up in numbers versus everything else that was used to murder?

I know I’d like to see those stats.
