Hmmmm...it seems like the MN churches who are on their anti-gun crusade ought to be sticking to their real job of bringing the Gospel of Christ to hurting souls.

Excellent point!
It seems to me many churches and\or their organizations are dashing to the left faster than the Republican party on many issues.

Clintons Are White Trash said: "Absolutely amazing statistics. Maybe Minnesota needs to work on making itself into a happier place to live instead of trying to control peoples rights.
I never would have guessed the ratio was that high."

Without statistics from other places, it is not possible to determine whether this ratio is any different anywhere else. We cannot tell whether MN has a lower rate of crime or a higher rate of suicide.

"Every ten seconds a girl under the age of 16 gives birth to a child". Oh, my god, somebody stop her!

With perhaps five billion people in the world, any matter can be made to sound dire by quoting statistics out of context.

• Seniors had the highest rate of suicide by firearms, followed by teens and young
adults between 15 and 24.

IIRC, a study in Oklahoma about 20 years ago showed a similar finding.
