I can't--I just, oh my god. Thirty-three people dead at Virginia Tech today? Only 12 people were killed at Columbine, and that was the worst one to date. I have a concentration in violent crime, specifically gun violence, and sometimes, inspite of all the facts, all the reasons, I'm still stuck sitting here asking why.
Below the lj cut is some of the research that I've compiled on gun violence, specifically shooting sprees, world wide. I do not suggest that you support gun control, but I do ask you to think about what I have to say.
( Approximately one in three female homicide victims and one in twenty male victims are killed by a current or former spouse, 60% of these cases involve firearms. According to research access to a firearm by an abusive partner significantly increases the rate of homicide for women in physically abusive relationships. )
