| Tries other methods, proves gun more effective...
|
| SHARONVILLE - .A woman rented a handgun at an indoor shooting range,
| got some instructions on how to use it and then fatally shot herself,
| police said Monday.
|
| Police in the Cincinnati suburb of Sharonville said they believe the
| woman committed suicide Sunday at Target World, a public range that
| sells and rents guns and has a dozen 25-yard target shooting lanes.
|
| The 46-year-old woman, Ann Fukuyama, of Cincinnati, died at a local
| hospital, police said.
|
| Sgt. Keith Schoonover said the woman reportedly had attempted suicide
| before by other means and police believe she went to the target range
| to kill herself. He said she rented a 9 mm handgun, learned how to use
| it and then went into a target shooting lane and shot herself.
|
| Witnesses said she gave no indication or warning that anything was
| wrong.
|
| Target World manager Jeff Mann said the range was operating normally
| Monday, but he wouldn't discuss the woman or the shooting because of
| an ongoing investigation.
|
|
|
|It is a free country. She is free to kill herself. Better than her
|killing
|others to get suicide via cop.
|
| What are you talking about?
|
| Killing yourself is against the law in most states. In a few states
| you can take your life if you're terminally ill.
|
| Since you don't drink, I'm left believing you're tugging on a bong.
|
|Killing yourself is not against the law. Attempting to kill yourself is
|against the law. but the problem is not the pistol, but problem is the
|reason she wanted to kill herself.
|
|If there weren't such an effective means of death easily available to
|her, perhaps she'd have survived long enough to address the real
|problem.
|
|Sounds logical, eh?

No, it *doesn't* sound logical... in fact, nearly all of your
ramblings on guns are devoid of logic.

If it is so logical, why is a suicidaly deranged woman wandering about
at large in the public? It could just have easily been you with the
"Deranged woman in the food mart with a knife."

But that just doesn't seem logical to you, does it? It just doesn't
have o-o-o-o-h-h-h-h that "gun" word!


Where guns are concerned, I think logic departs you.

It's strange because you're otherwise very bright. I guess one blind
spot in a life isn't so bad.

The point is that she had tried other means. The gun **proved** to be
the most effective tool for the job.

How the **** can you argue that? By installing blinders.
