In the video above, the former Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky’s St. Regis suburb reckons people shouldn’t be scared by an incident of “gun violence.” That’s because “it’s a rare thing.” You wouldn’t know that from the mainstream media, which follows ye olde dictum “if it bleeds it leads.” (That said, you don’t see automotive fatalities every day, and they’re just as common.) Anyway, have you seen a firearms-related injury or fatality? I was on the scene seconds after a neighbor in the house behind mine shot himself in the head. Not pretty. It made me [even more] sensitive to mental health issues. What have you seen shooting-wise and how did it effect you?
