Title: . Another US shooting
Post by: RUSTYME on December 21, 2012, 06:08:32 pm

Just heard reports of another us shooting . 4 dead the early reports are saying .
The wheels could be coming off over there , or just 'another' coincidence , or maybe ? , who knows .
I did read that 50 states had petitioned to leave the union and that it is like a pressure cooker in many places over there . That being the reason Obama sin laden wants the guns taken away from the people ?
Whatever the reason , another 4 dead so far .

It seems the numbers for US gun deaths being tweeted around are around 35 years out of date (Radio 4 - More or Less today).  According to the FBI some 12,664 gun homicides took place in 2011, nearly 35 a day.  The odd 4 deaths would seem to be neither here nor there.


Mind you they also have over 90 road deaths a day.
