Hopefully not another gun related Murder-Suicide.

Seems to me there are way too many of those lately!


According to ABC there wil be a press conference soon.

I will update this as soon as I know more. I just hope it doesn't involve guns. They're coming for them.

Mark my words.

As soon as the main story appears I will update the thread.

God Bless the Victims.

Really? I've only heard about a few of them suicides. Seems to me a LOT more people are killed every day by automobiles (average of 115 per day, just in the US alone). Seems to me our priorities are screwed up and maybe we should outlaw automobiles FIRST. Just how many people are killed every day by guns in the US as opposed to automobiles? Lets keep things in perspective. People aren't going to stop suicide or murder just because guns are outlawed, just like how people haven't stopped using illegal narcotics because they too are illegal.

The only problem here is that the Constitution doesn't explicitly say that US citizens have a right to bear cars. And if it ever came down to it, you probably couldn't defend yourself, family and country with a car. Well not too efficiently anyway.

And while we are at it with the perspective thing, we should divide the number of daily gun deaths in the US by the number of shots fired and compare that to the number of car deaths divided by the number of cars started...
