    Most deaths by gun violence are self-inflicted. And most of the murders are gang-related.

    Not owning a gun and not joining a gang are far more effective ways to prolong your life than joining in on some Old West shootout.

      Fair…I have no reason to dispute you and no reason to believe you…but it sounds sensible and hence if I had to actually make the decision for real I’d look into it!

      I know I sound flippant, and that’s because I am. I don’t need to choose - that choice was made for me. And I’m glad it was.
