Done.
Honest question. When a guy walks into a mall, a movie theater, a parking lot - wherever - and shoots and kills people for a bit, and then points the gun on himself and shoots himself or is shot by a cop (suicide by cop) should we not count those deaths as gun violence either?
Follow ups: Are you aware of a more efficient way of committing suicide than with a gun? Would you agree that being shot and killed is a violent death? How then, if someone shoots and kills himself or manipulates police officers into shooting and killing him is this not a violent death via a gun, aka gun violence?
(Btw, I usually strive to use inclusive language, but until American women step up to the plate and commit some mass homicides I will just use male pronouns in posts like this. Which raises the question, why don't more of our women kill more people with firearms? What the hell is wrong with American women?)
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
