scribbled thusly:

Roughly 30,000 gun deaths. More than half are suicide, followed by
homicide and then accidents. "Legal interventions" are a tiny
fraction.

If we look at age, 158 kids, 16 and under, died in 2002 in bicycle
accidents. 977 children died from firearms.

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.
