I too am familiar with that study/link...and thanks for providing it. :thumbup:

Particularly interesting and cogent to the issue we're discussing, for me anyway...

See post #70 please.

Actually the information about alcohol related auto deaths was posted in response to this post:

I'm sure there have been those who have been killed with a purse too, but it is extremely rare and no one with any sense...would think of restrictions on purses.

And yet, continuing to use those exceedingly rare occasions where other than firearms (typically with high-capacity magazines) are used to kill more than one person, in one incident, is the distraction and justification used...and which mostly explains why nothing of significance has been accomplished toward the real problem.

The love of firearms and the sense of power/equalization they convey...is very addicting to a lot of people.

I am glad however, that you support more restrictions on car ownership as it relates to DUIs. I guess I missed seeing all of those posts on the topic.......

Conversely, there seems to be a dearth of threads of restrictions on vehicle ownership/operation for any reason (DUI's/age/physical & mental impairments/Etc) and yet when it comes to guns, ANY guns...there seems to often be a visceral defense of them by some folks. :oops:

Start a thread on vehicle restrictions...and I'll be happy to post my views. :thumbup:

Actually I did, it was called "Where is the uproar", related to alcohol related fatalities. It started out well, unfortunately there were some posters who chose to make it about guns so it went off topic. Sound familiar?

Unfortunately guns are a "hot topic", and yes there is a defense of the Second Amendment. People claim that they don't want to take away guns, and I see many posts that reference the need for "common sense gun laws", but no one can give examples of such laws. I know, as I have asked repeatedly for examples. IMO, the issue is that the focus continues to be on the how and not so much as the why-which is where this thread was going, but as usual, gets hijacked away from the why.

The very definition of mass shooting is up for debate but of course like everything else is manipulated for a cause, a bad cause.

More interesting reading on "mass shootings." At the end there is a lot of information on the definition of "mass."

FACT CHECK: Were None of 154 Mass Shootings in 2018 Committed by a Black Man, Illegal Alien, or Woman?

No, a woman cannot be macho or be a macho.
Any noun in Spanish, that ends in an "o," as an example, is always masculine.

I would call a woman that owns firearms exactly that -- a woman who owns firearms! ;)

The point I made is that the absence of guns did not stop murders. The knife took over as the most efficient method possible and apparently served quite well.

I believe David used a rock with Goliath. Propelled by a slingshot though.

But the presence of a gun can stop quickly someone with a rock or knife. Unless a slingslot or throwing knife is involved.

Off the subject but can't resist temptation.
Masculine????
Such a characterization would not be allowed/tolerated in our current societal trend/tolerance!!!!!!!!
