Stabbing at Lone Star College

[loinburger]

Dead is dead.

By your stellar reasoning, it shouldn't matter if people are armed with nukes. After all, dead is dead.

Guess there will be a five day waiting period on exacto knives now.
They might even consider limiting the amount of blades that an exacto knive can hold.

If anything we should be handing these things out to gun buyers with every purchase.

And how many of them are hospitalized because THEY didn't have a gun?

Zero.

If you're thinking of posting one of the above two threads, just hang yourself instead.

If you're thinking of posting one of the above two threads, just hang yourself instead.

Then I can start the thread "OMG WHAT IF POLY POSTERS DIDN'T HAVE A ROPE!"

[SlowwHand]

I've been hung twice and shot none; so given that fact, I would be more likely to be against rope.

reg promotes auto-erotic asphyxiation!!!

Zero.

Thread over.

Ban Texans.

This is probably the best thing we could do.

Zero.

Note that this is one less than this household, which did have a gun:

Boy, 6, dies after being accidentally shot in head by 4-year-old neighbour

TOMS RIVER, N.J.—A 6-year-old boy who was accidentally shot in the head by a 4-year-old playmate has died from his wounds, authorities said Tuesday night.

Ocean County prosecutor’s office spokesman Al Della Fave confirmed Brandon Holt had died but said he couldn’t provide further details. Toms River police Chief Michael Mastronardy said Holt was pronounced dead at 5 p.m. Tuesday, nearly 24 hours after the shooting occurred in a neighbourhood that residents described as “very quiet.”

The 4-year-old, whose name was withheld, was not injured.

Prosecutor Joseph Coronato, speaking earlier Tuesday at a news conference, said the boy got the .22-calibre rifle from his home and it discharged accidentally Monday evening. The children, whose families live in the neighbourhood, were about 15 yards apart.

The younger boy’s mother called the emergency dispatcher to report the shooting, Coronato said.

Coronato said it was too early in the investigation to know whether anyone would be charged. He would not say who owned the gun or speculate on how the 4-year-old got it.
Mastronardy called the shooting tragic and said it affected the whole community, a sentiment shared by those who live there.

One resident said the two families had not lived in the neighbourhood for long and she did not know them well.

“I’m sad for the children involved and their families, but I’m angry with whoever owns that gun and allowed a little child to get hold of it. A 4-year-old can’t load a gun,” said Debi Coto, who lives a few doors down. “I had just been telling my sister how nice it is to see kids playing together and enjoying themselves, and then this happens.”

Coto said the 4-year-old’s mother seemed very upset in the minutes after the shooting and appeared to be trying to comprehend what had happened.

As well as this one:

The shooting came just days after a 4-year-old boy in Tennessee grabbed a loaded gun at a family cookout and accidentally shot to death the wife of a sheriff’s deputy and amid debate over gun control laws in the wake of December’s Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school massacre.

It's a statistical fact that households with a gun are more of a danger to children than those without guns. It's hard to make a case that gun owners shouldn't have their parental rights revoked.

That would be great, I'm always misplacing mine and keys really aren't a good substitute.

[The Mad Monk]

Zero.

Garcia confirmed that two of the victims were in critical condition and four were in fair condition. Garcia would not confirm earlier reports that many of the victims were stabbed in their cheeks, shoulders and/or necks.

I didn't realize critical patients were treated on an outpatient basis.

It's a statistical fact that households with bathtubs are more of a danger to children than those without bathtubs. It's hard to make a case that bathtub owners shouldn't have their parental rights revoked.
