Yes, I agree, but as the old saying goes: You just can't fix stupid.

It used to be thought that "stupid" was due to a lack of easy access to information and data. Apparently the cause is something else.

I'd like to see a break down of these gun deaths and where they occur, who's doing them, etc.

Is your figure right? I think it is more like 40,000.

Anyway, what the stat makers are so slow to admit is, the vast majority of the gun deaths in America are suicide.

It's 60 percent suicide.

4000? That's nothing compared to alcohol and drug related deaths. I have personally seen two lovely teen girls killed by alcohol drinking.

73,000? That's nothing compared to the Holocaust.

So let's stop trying to fix any problem.

1. If you're serious about tackling problems, you start with the most destructive problems first.

2. If you're serious about tackling any problem, you tackle the true cause, not the symptoms.

1. Fortunately it is possible to tackle more than one problem at a time.

2. Who doesn't want to "tackle the true cause"? How many people have you heard saying: "yeah no, we shouldn't tackle the cause, let's focus on the symptoms."

Alcohol = done it yourself.
Drugs = done it yourself.
Guns = 40% done by someone else.

Hence the difference in approach.
