Maybe We Shouldn't

By the numbers, guns are suicides.

Look at the states with high gun ownership.

Look at them—and count.

And watch the suicides mount.

List the top 20 states—

Those that have the highest percentage of guns.

And then the top 20 with firearm suicide deaths?

What do you guess?

It's almost the same 20 states.

That's stark.

And dark.

Evidence that the proliferation of guns is dangerous?

Evidence that having them lying around is...

Not the best idea?

You got it, hyena.

Chase that fact down.

Grab it in your teeth and shake it around.

Guns kill when too many are found.

Maybe we shouldn't let them abound.
