It's amazing to see the lack of research. Some related to the government preventing gun research from happening (I think during Clintons presidency), as well as being related to other assumptions, and a lack in scientific inquiry.

It's interesting that while these have occurred basically for ever, there has been a frequency uptick since the late 60's and a damage increase over the last 15-20 years (if I remember the chart right).
I liked that there were comments that would fall on both sides of the political isle on this subject presented... But I REALLY liked that the key realization was that if we hope to find these people before they do it, attempting some level of research into them sure would help.
So, while I am NOT hoping this becomes another giant 2A debate etc. We've had some good, respectful, discussions related to this, and so, when I read it I thought you all may also find it interesting.

The CDC is now allowed to study this problem,..
Australia seized guns, then they went after free speech. It's all a slow process to get to Mao's Great Leap, or to the Establishment of the Proletariat, but it's a steadfast and determined process and it is plaguing man's existence. The only reason The Great Experiment of the USA has succeeded to this point is guns. Period.
Oh, and all the High School kids can SFTU. They're in High School, meaning society has recognized that they need set amount of age and learning if they are to have ANY sort of value, let alone an established point-of-view that is worthwhile enough to change the function of our government.
Get YOUR HANDS out of MY POCKETS junior.
From a different angle: The FBI reports that knives account for 4 times as many deaths as guns. If all the anti-gun people really cared about is saving lives we would hear about the knives. Or why you can buy a car that can go faster than the legal speed limit when speed is the leading factor in motor vehicle deaths. It's not about saving lives, it's about hating guns and controlling people.
