    Looks like there are a lot of guns in Mexico, too. Probably coming from here.

    Australia's suicide rate began to fall the same year guns were brought under strict control.

    Correlation does not always imply causation. People who want to kill themselves aren't going to suddenly go "Well, I can't find a gun, so maybe I'll stick this thing out and see if it gets better."

    Maybe Australia put some outreach program into effect. Maybe they increased spending on mental health. Maybe a new drug came out. Who the hell knows?

  7. I've got the gun control thingy down: recoil takes the sights above the target, breathe in, pull the sights below the bullseye, cock [talking double action .38 here] , breathe out while bringing the sights up towards the target and squeeze... time it all so that when you have breathed out about a third your squeeze fires the gun at the moment when your sights are on the bullseye... it takes a little practice but I can put five shots in the heart and one between the eyes on a target in a few seconds at 75'... Everybody should have gun control.

  9. or at the very least they should start teaching gun control and safety at an early age to every student as a required course.

  10. I like!! I got my hunters safety license when I was thirteen years of age. Approximately SIXTY-SIX(66) countries REQUIRE BY LAW, all male (and sometimes female) citizens to join the military at an early age! If I'm motivated enough, I might do some research on some of these countries and determine the homicide rates via fire arms.
