This stupid country
I just learned about this today:
On December 30, 1912, at the age of twelve, Stevenson accidentally killed Ruth Merwin, a 16-year-old friend, while demonstrating drill technique with a rifle, inadvertently left loaded, during a party at the Stevenson home.[7] Stevenson was devastated by the accident and rarely mentioned or discussed it as an adult, even with his wife and children.[8] However, in 1955 Stevenson heard about a woman whose son had experienced a similar tragedy. He wrote to her that she should tell her son that “he must now live for two”, which Stevenson’s friends took to be a reference to the shooting incident.
Annual unintentional firearm homicides per 100,000 population:
Australia: 0.00
Canada: 0.00
Japan: 0.00
These countries are collectively home to 190 million people.
We can’t even hold presidential elections that feature no unintentional gun homicides committed by the candidates.
I guess freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose, and Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose.
