On the other hand, this is a good reason to make it easier for gun purchases. More guns, more suicides, less liberals. Kind of a post-natal abortion of sorts. Why should everyone else work hard, just to coddle the weak anyway? That's the responsibility of the family, not the whole community, state, country. Time to cut back on spending money on the weak, if they don't want it.

The quotes are from the report that you hold in high regard.

MOST crime goes unreported. Either because both parties are "nefarious" in nature, or they don't want to get involved in the hassles involved if they do report it.
