You don't need a gun....

To kill yourself....

Or to kill someone else.

Sad situations, both.  Contrary to what the anti-gunners would have you believe, the fact of the matter is that if you want to kill yourself or others, you'll find a way to do it.  Where there's a will, there's a way.  Where there's desire, there's a device.  It's not the tool, it's the person using it.  Seems pretty simple to me.

I watched a guy in a black Pontiac Grand Prix run through a 4-way stop and nearly nail the guy who had already stopped and was then making a legal left turn on my way home from work tonight.  The guy in the Pontiac?  Gangsta' lean.  Cell phone.  Could have killed someone.  'Nuff said.

Stay safe.

Some folks just gotta make a bold statement. Sheesh. Wow.

There have to be easier, less spectacular ways to go....
