Suicidewise, nothing beats a gun range.
Hell man, get with the program. Normalizing the sound of gunfire is America’s middle name.
Usually suicide reporting out of the Dead Cowboy State fails to mention guns AT ALL; but the local public radio station is at least willing to quote some guy on the subject.
Getting somewhere, Wyoming!

But don’t get too excited.
[T]he city’s political leadership—which Democrats have dominated for nearly a century—has tolerated disorder for far too long… Trump doesn’t entirely miss the mark when he lambastes generations of political indifference to so much suffering. When he deployed the National Guard in Washington, D.C., crime fell.
“It’s hard to hold your head high and do the right thing and fix up these properties and put the money into them to make them a nice and attractive place to live when this city is so rough,” said [an Indianapolis landlord]. “It’s just going to get shot up and your hard work is going to be destroyed. It’s disheartening.”
[O]fficers from the Myrtle Beach Police Department observed an individual in a vehicle brandishing a firearm while traveling near the … demonstration.
Another one.
“And that’s just the ones they caught,” Mr UD points out.
‘[A gun control advocate in Mississippi] said Tuesday that he often reminds his colleagues in other parts of the country that “what they go through don’t even compare to what we have to go through in the South. Because in the South, guns is like having a bottle of water [sic]. Everybody got it. And then it’s a right-to-carry state. It’s a castle doctrine state. It’s constant gun shows every other week in Mississippi somewhere. So guns are just bloody in Mississippi…. Get us all together. You bring in alcohol. Then you bring in all the crazy drugs they got these days, and you got a state where everybody got at least 10 guns. What you asked for? You asked for violence.”’
If they’re killing/injuring twenty people every weekend in bars and at big public events, why go there? It isn’t news if it’s just routine.
I mean, local coverage, sure; but why should the NYT waste its time on something as common as the common cold? UD doesn’t think you should reward states with no gun laws by paying attention to them. Their political class has created a wasteland, which is certainly a mark of shame for our country. But we’ve established these facts. The rest is just one vile stupid slaughter after another.
Now UD is a different matter. She’s not pretending to “report” on this shit. She pays attention because the rest of us need constantly to abuse ridicule and revile our sickest, most suicidal, most homicidal, gunny states. Otherwise, nothing changes.

Man, I was wondering when we’d hear from Louisiana! Good ol’ murdering LSU.
The state has “the single worst rate of gun deaths in the country,” and when you look at Leland High School’s homecoming gathering on Friday you can see how it got there. Most mass shootings manage to kill five or six; but the little folk of Leland and environs (the shooters probably range in age from 14-18) have already killed eight and injured at least twenty. They are definitely setting the mass shooting standard for the nation, and because they’re so young and because Mississippi basically has no gun laws they have decades of slaughter ahead of them.

“No triggers, no warnings that something like this would take place,” says a local official, and what a hoot. No triggers or warnings except for the fact that everyone over 12 in your state shoots off guns and you’re fucking notorious for the bloodshed all over Mississippi. Other than that, nothing to indicate a problem.

Wow! There’s more!
Two separate shootings were reported Saturday, Oct 11, related to Mississippi campuses, one at Jackson State University and another at Alcorn State University.
The two shootings follow three separate Friday night shooting incidents related to high school football events in the state.

‘Mississippi’s gun death rate in 2024 was 116% higher than the national average.‘
This weekend, they’ve been showing you how they do it. And they still have Sunday!
Tensions over public shoreline access erupted into felony charges for a Narragansett resident of the town’s pricy Anawan Cliffs neighborhood, who is accused of allegedly menacing fishermen with a drone, hitting golf balls in their direction, taking their sweatshirts and then flashing a loaded firearm.
[The man] faces felony charges for assault and possession of a large-capacity magazine.

Golf balls, drones, and guns -
