The Happy Gun Dance
Spoons, Rachel Lucas, and Kim du Toit (along with a star-studded supporting cast!) are all doing the Happy Gun Dance! Yet more sunny gun evidence to tack up to the panelling. Everybody, repeat after me: "Guns are inanimate objects." Good.
Oh, and someone really ought to legislate those knives, no? I mean, sheesh, the harm they do to the children - the harm they COULD do to the CHILDREN. Hysteria! Hysteria!
(By the way, I find it funny that this is categorized in HEALTH by Yahoo. Perhaps I should link it with fitness and nutrition as well).

I got the impression that that since they didn't get the results they wanted, they need "further study"--at least until they find ONE indicator that banning and restricting gun ownership isn't counter-productive; THEN they'll write up their report....
Posted by: Susie at October 2, 2003 10:43 PMThey're always going to want "further study," of course. I'm pleased that this came out to the news in this form, though.
I took a class in college called Crime in the Media. The outcome? Sorta the same, an academic thoughtful scratch and a big "hmmmmm," symbolizing a "that's not what we expected."
