Second, that was three shooting and yes they would make the news. And school shootings are uncommon here too, but a. we're a more populous country, b. we play it up really big in the news, and c. we play it up really big in the news.
In 2012 there were over 30,000 deaths in the US related to firearms, 11,078 were homicides, the other 19,000 or so were concluded to be suicide. Hope that clears it up for you.

There's a pretty large difference between being in the vicinity of objects that have the potential to kill, and someone carrying a gun. A gun is a lethal weapon, designed and built to kill, I'm not sure why that's so Damn people from the US are nonchalant about violence and aggression.
You guys are condoning carrying a pistol when meeting new people (and apparently at other times too), and I'm the one who's paranoid???
That is (but at the same time sad).
This was one guy doing this. The vast majority of the people i know wouldn't do this.
And this was a sketchy situation, the internet is full of creeps.

I wasn't arguing Zimmerman. There is no argument. He's a thug.
I like all dicks. I was just giving the uncut guys a hard time because they are very sensitive about their scary look genitals.
Now I'm going to the gym. /disxussion
So, do you think uncut cocks look scary or are you just trying to get a rise outta people. What's the general consensus on this cause sure aren't most people uncircumcised?

The suicides don't really count because people kill themselves in all kinds of different ways, and without guns they would just use a different method. Toting that as a reason that guns are bad is like saying ropes are bad because people hang themselves with them.

A gun might be a thing, just as a piece of food is a thing, but these things have intended uses and so carry intent and meaning. Rocking up with a gun, as opposed to a piece of fruit or cake, for instance, carries a pretty different meaning and intent.
Why not both? Carrying a gun doesn't mean you're out to hurt someone. I bet Sponge carries his gun in public in general instead of just bringing it to this dude's house. I see nothin wrong with someone carrying a gun on them for protection, if he was flauntin it for the dude to see that would be wrong, but just having in case he needs it doesn't say anything about LS's intentions.

It's fucking weird to carry a gun around with you. It isn't necessary and if you think it is , there is something seriously wrong with the way you think.

Did I say necessary? And whether it would be a good idea to have one depends on where you live anyway. You probably haven't been in any situations where you live that would make having a weapon around pretty useful. I don't carry one with me cuz the area I live in now is way safer than where I lived before Although anything could happen anywhere.

I agree, but I would rather wear a bullet proof vest.

I didn't say the suicides should count... Those were the numbers provided. I'd be interested to know if there is any correlation to increase suicide rate due to availability of firearms. quick easy way out requires much less thought than hanging and other methods than would require much more effort and pain.
Could weed out the people seriously suicidal vs people who just had a bad day.
