> Again, I'm not saying there are no freak deaths in India. It is common in every corner of the world where there is more than one man. But, death by an individual in a public setting is not common and that too by a gun is almost impossible in India. That was my whole point. Absolutely understandable observation. Factual even. I don't own a gun and have no financial interest in companies that manufacture or sell ammunition. However, I'm afraid the perception among readers might be that this is a problem we can solve by reducing or eliminating access to guns. I'm not aware of the full details of what happened but I think we need to address the underlying issues as well. There's clearly a lot of cognitive dissonance and leaps of faith even in this discussion because apparently the Klan's activities amount to terrorism but actions of a deranged lone wolf do not. As much as we talk about us being civilized, conversations like this remind us that we are all fundamentally animals with a very limited capacity to care about issues that we don't see as directly affecting us. I think the question I care about is how do we prevent these things from happening repeatedly? I'll be blunt. I have no interest in "justice" for the victim's family for the sake of "justice". By the way, I wouldn't call what happens in India as "freak deaths". http://m.hindustantimes.com/india/it-is-beef-says-lab-about-meat-found-in-dadri-lynching-victim-s-house/story-e1C5dAj9hUYB3StpxswTkM.html http://m.hindustantimes.com/india/it-is-beef-says-lab-about-... > Police maintained that the report was of no use in the investigation into the murder and assault. Not trying to single out India. There are people who benefit from this bountiful harvest of fear and hatred everywhere. I'm just saying the issue is more than gun control.
