Guns don't kill progress, people do


"The only real school massacres that have occurred in this country has been Columbine, Virginia Tech, and this one. That's three in the past decade, or rather more than the past decade considering that Columbine happened in 1999"
A person who goes by the name 'BlameThe1st' :iconblamethe1st: actually said this.
Here is the entire, but probably ongoing conversation. [link]

I take exception to the word "ONLY".
Isn't ONE incident of multiple homicide too many?
He sights three incidents, but how many people killed?
How many men women and children traumatized in ONLY those three incidents mentioned?
Not to mention the massacres that ONLY happened in places OTHER than schools.

When I asked Blamethe1st if he found the statistic of three school massacres acceptable, he dodged the question.

"My point is that, the shock of these atrocities aside, In the end, they are anomalies, not the norm. Violent crime is still on the decline".
What a considerate person. I guess Blamethe1st thinks that's GOOD NEWS for everyone mourning family and friends today...

Your child's murder, and your grief?
Blamethe1st says it's only an anomaly...Merry Christmas.

Sad ArithmeticAccess to affordable mental health services > Access to guns Prisoners = Cheap Labour More Guns = More Crime + More Murder More Crime = More Prisoners More Prisoners =  More Profit for PRIVATE Prison Owners If you don't like to "do the math", how about some quotes instead? ‎"The guns and the bombs, the rockets and the warships, are all symbols of human failure" Lyndon Banes Johnson "Guns were invented and designed as weapons of war, not tools of defense, no matter what the NRA tries to tell you" Craig Wilkins AKA KeswickPinhead "Guns are bad, I tell you" Marshall Mathers AKA Eminem "John Lennon, Doctor King, Harvey Milk, all for GOD DAMNED NOTHING, god is a bullet have mercy on us everyone" "She could have been your mother" Johnette Napolitano - Concrete Blondes 'God is a Bullet'  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNZpkimAZSI&feature=share I will not be posting any attempts at levity today. The thought of trying to be funny right now.
Shooting at the Food CourtShots fired in the Eaton Center in Toronto. Horrible...who would shoot in a crowded place like a mall? News is just going mental around here lately, with the story of a hand and a foot being mailed to politicians, a twisted snuff-film making murderer on the loose, and now we've got another psychopath out there who needs locking up. I wish the police all the best in the pursuit of this violent turd who clearly has no concern for their fellow human beings. My heart goes out to those injured or dead (no word yet, it's a breaking story) and their families. For up to date details you could search 'Eaton Center' or #EatonCenter on Twitter...the tweets are coming fast and furious.
