relevance there might be...turns out you had nothing bordering on reality...
>Using a bridge for a suicide is a tragedy for one troubled person who is not trying to physically harm anyone else...ergo, not a threat to society. Not publicizing such events does not compromise the public's safety, so it is a somewhat effective means of mitigating the allure of 'immortality' to those who contemplate such a dramatic end to their lives.
>Mass murderers are also troubled, but their actions definitely impact the lives of others in society, therefore it is essential that the media report on such events, if only to spur action to combat such behavior...I'm absolutely sure that if a child of yours was shot dead in their school room you would not be so sanguine about it.
>There is clear evidence demonstrated by numerous countries around the world that gun restrictions save lives...remove guns...especially assault weapons...and you don't experience the volume of mass murders that we do in the USA...our problem is a "Gun Problem"...we have way too many of them and they are unfortunately available to virtually anyone, regardless of their mental state.
>We need serious background checks...an effective national database...severe penalties for gun distributors that don't abide by restrictions...as well as other controls on a gun industry that trades personal pleasure for societal safety.
