Just soul destroying reading social media comments on this. Most people worried about labels and reinforcing their own perspectives. World is full of shituations at the moment..guess it always was.

Amazing. But when you look at the math(s), it's "only" 40,000 firearm deaths per annum.

The most interesting fact I have seen this week, thank you. I am sure Trump will be able to add to them figures......both figures.

The state of gun violence in the US - explained in 18 charts
.
I'm not sure how balanced it is, you can do all sorts of weird things with stats & graphs, but it's (arguably) quite interesting.

They happily ignore tens of thousands of deaths every year. Think they'll manage to ignore a video.

Yeh, Bowling For Columbine has been in the charity shops for ages. Worth watching, if only to see the character assassination of Chuck Heston. I knew he was in the John Wayne camp of politics, but he was at another level.

Dan Bilzerian getting a lot of coverage in the mainstream media regarding social media criticism for running away, rather than sticking around to help like a lot of of ex-vets did. Looks like he tried to save face by saying he was going back to get a load of guns, and then returning.

I don't care how many medals someone has, but it is pretty ridiculous to criticise someone for running away from that. I am sure it is what the police would advise in the circumstances. It must have been absolutely terrifying.
