Next thing you will tell us is that we should count it as a percentage of bullets.

Be real.
Around 175 million Americans have a gun in their home.

You can use that number to calculate.

Sorry but the European newspapers had the article and the son in law showed up unannounced...we had someone do that to my mom, like 5 decades ago, and it was a bday surprise but my mom had decided to go on vacation.

Only stupid people travel hours to be labeled “dumber than dumb”

Killed them in their sleep. Yes, that person is probably insane. The Kansas City shooting was a result of a bar-fight.

If she shoots down the dark hallway, capping her son in law in the head because she is afraid a black guy was going to rape her, then yeah.

Seriously though, this type of story happens far to often. Shooting first and asking questions later is bad strategy.

We make people learn to drive and pass a test before they get a license, but most anyone can go out and buy a gun with no training whatsoever. Something is wrong with that picture.

Every massacre has a reason. Same end result, just different murder methods. Gun, fire, truck, lead pipe, sick people find a way. Why don't we blame the fire, truck, or lead pipe?

Smart phones weren't designed to kill or maim people unlike guns.
Falling off a cliff is a "accident".
Picking up a gun and using it to shoot or kill another human being is a premeditated thought.

Next.

Gun ownership has certain responsibilities like identifying the threat and the target before you pull the trigger. If you fail to do that, you should face the consequences.

I thought the left cares so much about children. Where are all the protests to stop this violence?

Did this make the national news 24/7 as most white on black shootings do? Did CBS report on it? Why not?
