But we're not allowed to dig into why nearly two orders of magnitude more men commit suicide than women. Largely because it's semi-illegal to do so, and you can thank the Republicans for that. Back in the mid-90s the Republicans threatened to defund the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention unless they stopped funding research into firearm violence, injuries, and deaths, and wrote an amendment mandating the same into a 1996 spending bill - it has been in force ever since. Democrats have attempted several times, including three times in the last five years, to remove the amendment, all without success. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:912315156] in Guns are n...
