The anti-rights people love to use the 30,000 Gun Death figure. Of course this figure is dishonest at its core, as it includes Police shootings, as well as civilian justifiable homicides using firearms, but within this number 17,000 of these gun deaths are suicides. What’s particularly callus of this number is that only accounts for 50% of the suicide in the US. So much like murders with weapons other than firearms, anti-rights advocates disregard suicides that cannot be counted a “Gun Deaths”
A Northeastern University lab tech’s suspected suicide by cyanide — 30 miles away from campus — is raising public safety fears over easy access to deadly chemicals days after the ninth anniversary of 9/11.
The 30-year-old NU lab tech — identified by the school as Emily Staupe — was found dead early yesterday morning in her Milford bedroom along with what initial tests show was a plastic bag filled with crystallized cyanide, according to Milford and state police.
Cyanide is very toxic stuff, its also very useful in cellular biology studies because of how it disrupts biochemistry. But of course for those who speak in terms of “Gun Death” this case is irrelevant, as she didn’t use a firearm.
Of course other nannies will make life harder for people doing research using Cyanide because a small number of individuals misbehave. So in the end its all very similar….
