Did you bother to look at the graphic? pipoman Jul 2014 #16

Did you? It actually shows roughly a 10% increase in gun deaths. ieoeja Jul 2014 #42

Paranoid? IronGate Jul 2014 #21

I'm not saying you are paranoid BainsBane Jul 2014 #23

I can agree with that, IronGate Jul 2014 #25

How so? BainsBane Jul 2014 #29

Those deaths are tragic, but, while not discounting these deaths, 2/3 are suicides, IronGate Jul 2014 #31
