I'd really like to know the last time that anyone personally knows a time where a gun they had on them came into play on the positive side. But to each his/her own.
As to Sweeties retort in Gracie's reply: Let's remember that "Suicides typically make up 56.5% of all gun deaths in according to the information available circa 2006 at
Bureau Of Justice Statistics." Maybe we can agree that those guns were in the wrong hands? Maybe without a 'ready' gun some of these people, many of them under 20 years old, might be able to seek treatment.
