The gun control argument stops now. I know it's fun to argue about it in the heat of the tragedy when you can get all worked up about it but it's pretty disrespectful and if you don't care enough about the issue to make a separate topic for gun control then you don't care enough to shit on the tragedy by exploiting it. A gun control topic can be found here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=313472 Also stop posting links to his facebook. TL will be no part of an unconfirmed witch hunt. | ||

That's not true. Get your facts straight before you talk like you know everything already. "Experts say most of those prescriptions are unnecessary. The United States makes up only 4.6 percent of the world's population, but consumes 80 percent of its opioids -- and 99 percent of the world's hydrocodone, the opiate that is in Vicodin." http://abcnews.go.com/US/prescription-painkillers-record-number-americans-pain-medication/story?id=13421828 US is the most drugged up country in the world, drugs+guns = bad combo. Almost all of these psycho mass shooters are drugged up on psychiatric medications. That batman killer was on psychiatric medications and I'll bet the people who shot these kids were drugged up as well. | ||

And I guess, motivated by this desire, this is what leads people to argue over and over. that's true but i think mods just don't want THIS thread to turn into a gun control thread. make another one that's dedicated to the topic if they want to. | ||

Yes, I know guns don't kill people, but they make it really easy. Gun related Deaths by Country (per 100,000 population) Japan 0.07 England 0.22 Ukraine 0.35 Spain 0.63 Germany 1.10 Israel 1.86 United States 9.00 Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate God Bless America, the NRA and the 2nd Amendment! That stat doesn't mean a whole lot to be honest. You're going to have to at least take out suicide and accidental deaths which bumps it down to a 3/100,000. Especially when you're using Japan as an example, which has one of the world's highest suicide rates.... just not by firearms. Take out gang related violence and it'll probably jump down significantly more. Misusing facts ftw! ~_~ | ||
