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?” |

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
