This is the title of an article in the current issue of The Lancet; I've posted this in SMM&T because it is an element of a study by the US CDC and other agencies to collect and collate data about firearm related violence and the study of that issue as a matter of public health policy. The...

It would appear that some people just can't wait to blame the VICTIMS and the 'wussification of the US', are we sure we know why this happened, are we sure that a rush to judgement during the mourning period. I have my opinions but dancing on the corpses seems premature...

Turn on your TVs to CNN/FOX/MSNBC/CBC NEWSWORLD if you can. This is a terrible tragedy, but trying to look at it dispassionately as possible, it's interesting to see how an event like this develops in real time in its first hours. I've already heard three different death estimates, 21, 31 and...

MSNBC is reporting that 20 people have been killed on the Virginia Tech campus with almost 30 others being treated for a variety of injuries. They have one suspect in custody, but there may be another loose on campus. Correct that: the college president is now saying that the shooter was...

Yep, MM is a proven fraud, liar, etc, etc, much like Ann Coulter, I hear. Meanwhile, another school shooting. Something is seriously wrong, so it must be time for some more nitpicking on just who did what and cut what where. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/03/21/school.shooting/index.html

Story That and the NBC cartoon pretty much proves that truth is stranger than fiction.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Midwest/08/28/chicago.shooting/index.html ..full article Another tragedy for the gun-phobes to exploit in their endeavor to burn the constitution. :(

3 killed in Missouri plant shooting I work just a half mile from the plant. Still no names yet. Local police is having a press conference in an hour. You never think something like this can happen in your town. :(

From Google News, quoting The Washington Post: Metal detectors and security guards to stop kids taking guns to school, and armed teenagers settling disputes by shooting each other. I'm so glad I didn't grow up in America...
