I suppose one can make claim that the predecessor of automobiles was created to kill. At least it was created for use in war. The war chariot.

One could, but what would be the point? Even if one accepts the questionable claim that the chariot had no other useful function than to kill, that would just be an excellent reason to be thankful we don't have chariots around anymore ...

Not pointed at you #6, just doing the Quick Reply.

Here's my point on the hyperbole over these tragic incidents, and people taking advantage of them by using them to advance their agendas.

Gun homicides, violence down sharply in the past 20 years, contrary to all of the doomsayers that think it's getting worse and we're going to hell in a holster. As a society we are making great strides, keep the faith people.

It's just the availability of information 24/7 that makes it looks worse nowadays.

We want information… information… information #6. smirk

Data can be cut in so many different ways. It's true that gun homicides are down. It's also true that gun ownership is down. Even for presumably gun-favoring Republican households it's down:



So cause and effect? Correlation? Mere coincidence?

I don't have a clue!

That's good news. But no reason to start coasting... push even harder for lower numbers.
