only in history did race place a factor in gun control
it was the democrats that penned gun control laws aimed at the blacks
i do not care who owns a firearm and personally believe that honest
black folks should be armed more so when you hear reports
in certain cities that the police response time is upwards of 58 minutes
at that rate the cities should be handing out self protection kits
(firearms and ammo)
instead of attempting to take them away

That's why I keep my loaded gun at the bedside. This is a fairly safe neighborhood, but one who lives here must realize that this 'lake' is actually a commercial and navigable river, so what could possible climb onto land from it is a craps shoot. The roads are winding and hilly, and it takes near 40 minutes to get out here. Anyone here would be toast before the cops arrived. And I am fairly sure that all my neighbors are armed as well. I hear gunshots here occasionally. People will shoot a squirrel for supper or if a nasty snake crawls up they will shoot that. There have been two suicides, one before I moved her one just after. It is so lovely here that it is hard to imagine someone in that state of mind, though.
ya just never know when you will need one
for the most part i do not include suicide as an act of gun violence
people commit suicide for a multitude of reasons
having a gun is not one of the reasons they terminate their life
i had a friend several years ago commit suicide by denying dialysis
he planned it out so that he would die in the month of June when the weather
was nice
planned out his funeral (everyone had to wear Hawaiian shirts
and listen to Yes albums )
his life had become pretty painful
when he stopped treatments
the pain went away he remained alert for a week then slipped away
into unconsciousness and then death
he was a great guy and taught me much about life
Wow.
