Fun with google. [View all]

Search road rage + gun? I got to 42 separate incidents in the month of March before I lost count and didn't feel like starting over. There's probably twice that number.

How about a search on bar + gun? Pretty much the same result.

Wife + gun? Yeah, 'bout what you'd expect except I was surprised how many police were in the headline. Girlfriend + gun is even worse.

Accident + shooting? Had to change the wording 'cause about a third of the results were accident related instead to gun related. Too many to count. Lots involving children. Amazing how many adults shoot children "by accident".

Toddler + gun? Page after page of results.

Thirty thousand people each year die and more than 100,000 injured badly enough to be treated in hospital by guns.

When are we going to learn?
