Choosing a Gun

[mellie]

In the US there are 30,000 (on average) firearm deaths a year.

Fact!

Furthermore.... 200,000 sustain firearm injuries, expensive injuries at that.

Anonymous Targets Westboro Baptist Church After Newtown Vigil Protest Threat

Members of the hacktivist group Anonymous have targeted the Westboro Baptist Church after the hate-mongering quasi-religious group announced plans to protest a Sunday night vigil in remembrance of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, 20 of whom were just 6 and 7 years old.

On Saturday, Westboro Baptist Church spokesperson Shirley Phelps-Roper tweeted that the group would be protesting the vigil in Newtown, Conn., to "sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment."

Is this fact or fiction?

It is so extreme. Hollywood wouldn't have trouble sourcing material for their movies.

So AiA, what is your opinion on the gun situation in the US and if you think there is an issue how would you address it?

If one had an intersection in town where there was a fatality every month the town leaders would do something about it without getting political, don't you think? They wouldn't close the intersection. They wouldn't ban cars. They would simply enact sensible safety measures, something that seems unlikely to happen in the USA.

Rolling back gun ownership in the US would be like trying to stop Monk drinking.

The US needs to fund armed protection of schools- simple as that

So in plain English what would you suggest for the gun situation?

What safety measures?

Of course how would you stop acts like this?
