America..why won't you just ban the fucking gun?

[Simple Torture]

chud, are you telling me that WBZ doesn't give you a personal bodyguard when you go out to do a fluff piece about a farmers' market in Brookline? That's ridiculous!

[Norah]

Yep, and I can't get life insurance because of it.

Really?

yeah, too much risk

[Green Habit]

yeah I have no interest in seeing this video

I'm really glad that Jammer91 doesn't post here anymore, or we probably would have had to ban him again for linking to it.

He's posted it on facebook.

It was very strange how the guy was able to walk right up to them and raise his gun for several seconds with no reaction from any of them. I imagine doing a segment and interview like that kind of gives you blinders to what is around you though.

So I did some fun with math earlier this morning...

I found a survey saying that gun ownership is actually on the decline in the US, with 1 in 3 households having guns, and 22 percent personally owning them, for about 70 million people. Now, we all know about the sheer number of guns in this country--it's at .88 guns per resident, for a total of about 281 million guns. Putting those two numbers together, the average number of guns per gun owner comes out at exactly 4.

Now I want to know how many people own just one gun, just to see how many the real gun fans might have.

fun with math

The thing that keeps coming to my mind about this shooting is that every news article describes a 'woman' being shot and killed, then goes on to note that her age was 24.

All I can think is, "That's basically a child." He killed a child. This is someone who was still attending pep rallies in 2009, and her story is over.

Also, 24 year olds shouldn't be reporting any kind of news. It's silly.

Four professionals I feel should always be older than me: police, attorneys and judges, doctors, and big time politicians.

Active shooter at Mississippi State.

Also, we just change it to a shooter. I don't think we need a verb attached to it.

Looks like they're in custody. No injuries.

Chris Rock still has the best idea I've heard about this subject. No gun control, rather bullet control. Have all the guns you want, but buying bullets will cost you $5000.

lol. I love Chris Rock

Guys, I'm headed to the office. Cover me

I try to read similar/same stories from different sources (Fox, CNN, Al Jazeera, etc.) and I found myself looking at the comment section on Fox.

....and damn, some racist MoFos posting over there. And at an alarming rate. that real-time update can make your head spin
