I know all about statistics. I even remember when people used to cite vehicular death statistics as evidence we needn't worry about guns. Boy, those were the days.

You are alluding to an interesting point. Some people we have learned are incapable of not worrying about guns, what we call gunphobic. Obviously people with emotional disorders you wouldn't want to influence legislation or policy in any way. For the most part, luckily, that's how it's played out.

:lol:

The Statistics of Doom, now there is a religion that will never go out of style.

The sky is always falling, and the Apocalypse is always just a bit over the horizon, where the non-stat heretics can't quite see it..... yet. Luckily, "we" can.

The temperature of the Earth is going up by 0.047 of a degree each year, the oceans are rising by 0.118 of an inch per year...... and we're worried about gun violence. How short sighted can we get? :P

screw the eggs, save the omelet.... er, uh, rather, the frying pan!

California Cops Shoot and Kill Man and Woman Passed Out in Car

California cops shot and killed a man and woman Sunday after finding them unconscious in a car and spending 45 minutes trying to “deescalate the situation” before they “felt threatened,” according to Inglewood Mayor James Butts, a former police chief.

But Butts did not explain how Inglewood police felt threatened by an unconscious couple before opening fire on the couple.

All he said was that the woman, Kisha Micheal, had a gun in her right hand, which is what police have been saying all along.

However, Michael’s family said she did not even own a gun.

And as more details emerge from the incident, it certainly appears that things are just not adding up.

[...]
I am impressed.

The number of people who directly operate, ride as passengers in, or interact with vehicles daily is enormous. Far greater than the number of people who get within 20 feet of a gun daily. When gun fatalities begin to converge with vehicular fatalities, it's no longer "gunphobia", you raging realophobe.

That's indeed pretty impressive, YMix. Here's a less impressive one: Salt Lake City cops shoot a black man armed with a broomstick. Admittedly, residents of SLC are unaccustomed to seeing black people and until just a few years ago, the Mormon church taught that black people were the devil's spawn.

So less than even lightning strikes. Nothing to worry about then.

Thanks for an argument finally that has some sort of relationship to statistics, even though it doesn't support your overall thesis.

The town of Katy, Texas, was left reeling when Christy Sheats shot and killed her daughters on Friday, June 24. “It was a family argument that turned into a shooting,” Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls told the Houston Chronicle. “But we’re still trying to put the pieces together.”

[...]

When officers arrived at the Houston-area home shortly after 5 p.m. to investigate 911 calls of “shots fired,” they discovered Taylor Sheats, 22, and Madison Sheats, 17, lying in the street bleeding from gunshot wounds, according to a statement from the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office on its Facebook page. “The armed shooter was also in the street and, after refusing to drop her weapon, was shot and killed by a Fulshear officer,” the statement continued.

Madison died at the scene; Taylor was airlifted to Texas Medical Center but couldn’t be saved.

[...]

Christy Sheats Was an Advocate for the Second Amendment

“It would be horribly tragic if my ability to protect myself or my family were to be taken away,” the 42-year-old wrote in March on her Facebook page, “but that’s exactly what Democrats are determined to do by banning semi-automatic handguns.”
A woman with a history of mental illness has easy access to handguns. What could go wrong?

Yeah really. I liked the one where the parents called the cops because their 26 year old son refused to take out the garbage. He must have been too busy in the basement. :D
