He might not, or he might have only succeeded in his own suicide, or in injuring others, or not succeeded in either.<br /><br />But he wouldn't have killed with a gun. A gun makes it easier; a knife is not so easy.dog gonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151618317070878675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-54734957628577779822011-03-24T11:03:00.722+01:002011-03-24T11:03:00.722+01:00MAgunowner, You say, "the guy who probably wo...MAgunowner, You say, <i>"the guy who probably would've substituted a kitchen knife if he couldn't get a gun,"</i> as if that means something. First of all, not all would resort to other tools to do their killing, some would just not kill. And secondly, and more importantly, those who do resort to knives or baseball bats or whatever, whould have a lower kill rate and would inflict much less damage.<br /><br />FJ, I might borrow this one as a new slogan. <i>"What the fuck is wrong with people?

You know, the guy who probably would've substituted a kitchen knife if he couldn't get a gun (in which case you wouldn't care about the incident).MAgunownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285039868102258320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-53985152091698655632011-03-23T01:23:26.131+01:002011-03-23T01:23:26.131+01:00I was just listening to NPR.

It was a feature story about some poor soldier with brain damage and PTSD, a double-whammy all too common amongst those that bear the true cost of war.<br /><br />His fucking Dad comes on sobbing in his hanky about a breakdown his son suffered after leaving a treatment facility. He starts by describing how the son tore apart his own bedroom, his trophy case containing his purple heart among other things. Then the guy's like, "Next I went into my bedroom where I keep my guns..."<br /><br />What the fuck is wrong with people?
