Stuntwoman, husband reportedly killed in shootout with her ex and his new wife

They're dead because of guns.

Yes, they were stupid, but an incident like that in Western Europe would result in zero deaths.





As macabre as it seems, I actually agree with you.

To many the consequence of being executed is too removed from their consciousness.

Dylan Roofe didn't care about being executed when he murdered the church goers...he sure as hell does now as he virtually begs for a please deal with a life sentence.

If there were public executions, the disconnect would-be murderers have with execution would be removed and the fear of it, as a very real punishment, might stay in their minds

I would also encourage schools to arrange visits to prisons.
What's point of a deterrent if criminals only understand it and it's consequences after the crime ?

this was a field visit destination for our scouts as they were about to enter their teens

while they tried to act aloof and cool as a group, it was very apparent no scout wanted part of this societal underbelly

Today I heard it on PBS that guns have rights.

I kid you not. Judy Woodruff says Guns have rights.

No Judy, guns are mechanical contraptions. Such tools do not have rights.

OK, what is the counter number where I can see that, because despite watching it twice, I couldn't catch it.

I'm not sure the scouts are the ideal group to take, a bit like a preacher preaching to the choir.

I can think of more suitable groups to take.

Inner city schools and kids getting involved in minor crime.

In Richworld the bad guys would have had guns and the good guys would have been more bodies piled at the alter of gun control.
