Nothing new or surprising. We could make a very long list of the causes of death more serious than mass shootings, but no one in the citizen disarmament camp would care.

These really are pointless comparisons.


What we need are common sense gun laws. Laws which allow people to defend themselves and our children where and when needed.

It would only be fair.

The 2 wheeled Euro-Trash needs to stay off the roads.

When they have their uppity, Euro-Trash marathon rides in Glencoe and Sparks, they literally bring traffic to a stand still.

I say 2 points for a single, 5 points for a pair, and 15 points if you take out a whole string of them.

Please don't use the phrase "common sense gun laws". That's the mantra of all the anti-gun folks.

I'm ok with bicycles, but only if they don't come with high-capacity tires.

What we need are common sense laws. Laws which allow people to defend themselves from motorist while on bicycles and our childrenfrom that pesky thing called potential energy where and when needed.

FIFY

it wasn't clear from my read of the article, but were they talking about riders running into and killing other people. same for falling, were they talking about people falling on and killing other people.

when we're talking mass killings, that is one person purposefully killing others, a whole different boat than folks killing themselves or accidentally or on purpose getting killed by carelessness of others.

I am totally 2A but when we say guns don't have the capacity to inflict serious damage, or compare premeditated killings against random acts, we're not helping ourselves or fooling anyone.

Comparing with drunk driving or distracted driving fatalities is a closer comparison. These folks didn't intend to go out and kill someone, but their reckless behavior did kill people. Without any statistics in hand, I'd guess way more folks are killed this way than by lunatics, and that is where our first focus should be.

I don't smoke and I'd love to have cigarettes banned. Butts littered everywhere, have to breathe that crap whenever I'm outside. This is the mentality of the antigunners. They don't like guns, they don't want guns, and they don't want anyone else to have guns either because there is only possible downside in their eyes. We have to get around that somehow.

I looked up some stats one time and found that you were more likely to die in an accident involving mass transportation - specifically, busses - than from a mass shooting.

I will continue to use it until I see some common sense gun laws. The phrase should belong to us.

If sense were common, there would be no gun laws, as criminals do not, commonly, comply.

Think Dr.Seuss when you read it. Use the voice of Henry Higgins from my fair lady...
