Yesterday, the Seattle-PI.com noted that “Between 2012 and 2014, there were 497 fatalities on Washington highways. The same period saw 665 gun fatalities. Of these, 520 were suicides.” Gov. Inslee made that revelation, and it opens the door to a discussion that anti-gunners here and across the country may not want to have.
Should suicide, which is a tragic personal act, be compared to the drive-by slaying of a rival gang member or some innocent bystander as “gun violence?” After all, if someone jumps from the Aurora Avenue Bridge in Seattle, what do you call that, “road rage?” |

| I now think the only way to control handgun use is to prohibit the guns. And the only way to do that is to change the Constitution. — M. Gartner, then President of NBC News, USA Today, January 16, 1992, pg. A9 |
