Or is that simply practicing euthanasia without a license?
Misleading headline.
As is even admitted in the article — it is the over-wrought news coverage of these events which is causing distress.
But that is, of course, exactly what the statists both in media and government want — a population which has been emotionally battered into submission.

20,000 of them self inflicted.
Cops shooting gang members included in that 30,000 number, which has been been determined t be an inflated number by many.
Half of those are suicides.
Best way to prevent gun violence is to keep the gun felons in jail instead of releasing them.
Them allowing ‘stop and frisk’ in high crime areas of any major city. They’ll stop carrying guns. Ship them out of state by law if they are convicted of being a felony in possession.
That’d stop about 90% of gun violence.
And who is doing the killing?
Is it the legal gun owners of America?
It’s gangs and the inner city folks who kill each other.
Look at Chicago.
Knock off the lame B.S. stories about PTSD etc.
Get tough on crime and criminals. Watch those gun death figures plummet.
The 330 “mass shootings” stat, like the “30,000 people killed by gun violence” that others have pointed out, is, in fact baloney. They will be repeated endlessly, and eventually unless Second Amendment Patriots are vigilant, they will be believed.
Just imagine how objective and scholarly and even-handed a website named "gunviolencearchive.org" must be!

...which, purely coincidentally, disqualifies most Americans from gun ownership under chairman 0bama’s latest (shredding of the constitution) executive action.
There were fewer murders in the US in 2014 than in any year since 1968 (total number, not per capita). For anyone under the age of 50, this country is the safest it has ever been.
America doesn’t have a gun problem, America has a Chicago problem. A Baltimore problem, a Detroit problem, a Washington DC problem. It isn’t the guns, and it certainly isn’t lax gun laws. It’s Democrat strongholds, and the people who live in them.
I read somewhere Chicago police took over 13,000 guns off the street one year. You got to believe a whole lot of these were taken off people who who were already felons.
This alone is a fed felony and you can bet not many folks did serious time.
Nope, Obama doesn't want to save lives, he wants to continue to infringe our rights.
I tried that or thought I did. Oh well
Pissed off at obama and the enemies of America is NOT .. PTSD !

It’s finally happened.
Every single person in the US is now a victim.
And cannot own a firearm because we’re all mentally ill.
