Sad isn't it, over 17,000 people who blew their brains out

because
they were depressed and a gun was al too handy.

Sad indeed, it would have been much better if they had used a

knife,
or a rope, or overdosed on drugs, or sucked a car tailpipe, or,

well,
anything but a gun.

Scotty


Yep, at least with a knife,rope,drug,or exhaust, you have the
opportunity to change you mind and call for help.


You can change your mind while swinging from a rope, but it won't

help
any.

SV


Most people who hang themselves don't die from a broken neck.
Mainly they asprixiate after passing out from reduced blood flow to
the brain....it's only after they pass out that they relax enough to
strangle.


So explain how they can then change their mind, and do something about
it.


Then there are the others who never in fact dangle, but tie a rope
around something, pass a noose over their head and just sit down.


And some tie a rock around their neck and throw into deep water.
Wonder if the change their mind on the way down?


How about bridge jumpers? Bet they change their mind about 1/2 way
down. Too late! Splat!

Jeff Morris January 25th 05 03:15 AM

In Massachusetts, we have the toughest gun laws in the country. We also
have the lowest gun death rate (by a large margin) in the country. We
also have one of the lowest suicide rates in the country, about 60% of
the national average.

Sure is. I had no idea there were that many suicides and justifiable

Jeff... why in the world would you propose to cause a line up at the
check-out counter? You said fewer suicides... not murders. Disarming the
civilian population is no remedy for crime. I speak from experience here in
Canada, it's ridiculously expensive, time consuming and has effectively
increased the smuggling profits. Only the criminals & cops have weapons now.
The cops are only a follow up after the incident and the criminals are more
brazen due to the gun control legislation.

Do not go down the road of gun control..... it's merely another step in the
direction to strip you of your rights.

Are you trying to say something, Neal? The death by firearm rate in MA
has fallen since the latest gun law, though its still too early to see
the full affect, especially since there are state nearby where its easy
to get guns. However, the MA rate for firearm death is less than a
third of the national average.

It's Bogus to make that assumption. I grew up in a household with lots of
firearms. Nobody in the family got shot. Nobody would come near the place
unless invited, because everyone knew we were armed to the teeth and
wouldn't hesitate to shoot. We were trained to handle, clean and then shoot
early in life, by my Dad.... a strict respect for weapons was instilled.

It's your friggin' Liberal assed, prima Donna, thinks they should tell
others how to live attitude that really underlines how little you understand
the very basic notion that a person has the right to protect themselves.

Smoking kills 450,000 a year. Should we outlaw smoking?

No, it adds up to under 12,000 - most 'victims' of the WOD.


Interesting the WISCARS shows 10% on a populaton on 290 million.

This might help

It really is a shock to the system eh.


Sure is. I had no idea there were that many suicides and

justifiable
homocides. 30,000! wow!


So all gun daths that are suicide and justifiable homocide are not
related to guns in the community?
What constitutes a justifiable homocide...Is that where someone

comes
at you with a gun and you shoot em dead?

Of course we have to put that in perspective by remembering that

medical
"misadventures" (doctors don't make mistakes, they have

misadventures) kill
over 100,000/yr.


Well well, maybe we could just ignore ever cause of death that is

less
than what doctors cause.....what level of deaths/100,000 would you
like to set the limit of ignorance at?

There are other factors involved.

Are you trying to say something, Neal? The death by firearm rate in

MA
has fallen since the latest gun law, though its still too early to

see
the full affect, especially since there are state nearby where its

easy
to get guns. However, the MA rate for firearm death is less than a
third of the national average.

You saw the crime rate stats for Mass and they proved that banning

guns
had no effect unless the gun ban was put in, in 1995 which it

wasn't.

Neal, you're a complete PUTZ! By your own study, Massachusetts

has
substantially lowers rates for almost all forms of crime than

the
national average. The murder rate is about 40% of the national
average. The overall "crime index" was 42nd in the country.

The the most recent studies, MA is cited as the "safest state

in the
country." My hometown is cited as "The safest city in the

country"!



And the absolute most boring city, too, if you are the typical

resident
thereof.



I suppose. Showing your blunders is getting pretty boring. When

you
get something right, that would be exciting.

Poor Holly, he takes my objection to guns in suburbia personally.



That's because it IS personal.

The answer should be obvious.



So you've finally decided to come out of the closet?

Except the truth is, when you bring a gun in to house, it is more likely

That's in YOUR house, not mine. I live alone.
