Plenty of kids and adults getting killed by lots of things, yet firearms deaths make national news.The kid drowining in the bathtub just isn't as juicy a topic for the media.

Take away the tool and the death is just another obit. If there's a gun invoved hysteria takes over., and it's on headline news/yahoo/cnn/breitbart in an instant.

If it bleeds, it leads.

If it bleeds, it leads.

If nothing else shoots, get a gun.

If nothing else shots, get a gun.

Or go the route the thugs in England and Canada went, get a long bladed kitchen knife.

If you had your way ES, that woman in St Louis would have been attacked/raped a second time. I guess kids are more important, I hate to make that assumption but you leave me little choice.

Yesterday five homeless people were shot to death in a camp beside a busy highway. All traffic was shut down on another LA highway because a man was brandishing a gun on the overpass.

And that was just on my way to work!

Sad, sad, sad.

And by the FBI stats, yesterday firearms were used a few thousand times in self defense.

Sad, sad,sad, that people can defend themselves. We should really all be relying on the police..... even though it takes upwards of an hours for a response out here.

Call the cops out here, I live about 7 blocks away from the station that gave you the Rodney King beating, and you can wait about 45 minutes.

Now, if you get a car chase going, you can have about 6 cars, a chopper and some jail time in minutes!

Today was the funeral of a young man here. Shot and killed just days after his wedding. Cops shot him by mistake. He did nothing but open his front door.

He will not be there for the birth of his daughter in December.

He is dead.
