Is a gun like a virus, a car, tobacco or alcohol? Yes say public
health experts, who in the wake of recent mass shootings are calling
for a fresh look at gun violence as a social disease.

What we need, they say, is a public health approach to the problem,
like the highway safety measures, product changes and driving laws
that slashed deaths from car crashes decades ago, even as the number
of vehicles on the road rose.

One example: Guardrails are now curved to the ground instead of having
sharp metal ends that stick out and pose a hazard in a crash.

"People used to spear themselves and we blamed the drivers for that,"
said Dr. Garen Wintemute, an emergency medicine professor who directs
the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of
California, Davis.

Next time you or your family is mugged I hope you have a safe guard
rail for protection.

You'd be stupid enough to reach for a weapon if your family is being
mugged? Really?

Sounds like a sure bet for someone to get killed or maimed. I don't
think that's worth losing earthly possessions. Are your cash and
credit cards worth dying over?

Yes, I would. Bad actors don't necessarily just want your money and go
away..... some like to see blood, suffering, and death.

Given the choice between proactively defending myself and hoping the
criminal respects my well being, I'll always choose the former.

You're stupid. Most people performing muggings want your money and
whatever they could pawn.

Escalating that to a life and death situation with your own hands is
folly.

Cash, credit cards, jewelry, etc. can all be replaced.

Sounds like you don't have a clue about human nature, typical of a
righty who lives scared.


Criminals have been performing muggings, videoing them and then putting
them up on the web.




I read up and saw "muggers want to see blood" and knew it had to be
jps... LOL, the guy is probably like harry, living in a basement,
watching fake vids on youtube... LOL!!!


You have a problem with reading comprehension, at the very least.
