|| 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.

No, by using logic. The gun proved nothing. She happened to choose
that, for whatever reason, rather than jump off an overpass..... just
as deadly, by the way, and requires NO practice whatsoever.



There are some posters here who would pick the wrong overpass and have
to repeat the jump, several times.

Not to mention it's a hell of a lot easier to hold a gun to your head
and pull the trigger than to stand on a bridge and jump.

More funky logic from the gun lobby.

The gun at least only killed her. Jumping off a building, has killed
passerby's. About 15 years ago, guy jumped off one of the local overpasses
in to the front of a school bus. Bus taking the kids to Great America
Amusement park for an end of year bash. Sure screwed up the day and the
minds of those kids.
