AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

At Sun Mar 17, 2013, 10:15 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

The real answer to your questions is simply out of sight out of mind.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1262&pid=156

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

As explained downthread, denying the existence of much evidence is an NRA talking point = hide in this group (please see the SOP), thanks.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Mar 17, 2013, 10:21 AM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Nice try.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The post addresses the OP and does not meet the criteria for hiding it.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The alerter is very imaginative. The post is SOP compliant.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I wasn't aware that the gun safety debate had anything to do with suicide AND that the NRA had anything to say about suicide. If what the poster said is not true, then rebut it. Suicide, too, is an important discussion to have, whether or not it has anything to do with gun safety or the NRA.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
Geez could there be MORE gun deaths in Chicago and DC were it not for these gun laws? dkf Mar 2013 #1
Gang-related shootings are a tiny fraction of homicides. Robb Mar 2013 #2
Since most gun deaths are suicides it is curious this is not the main rationale for gun control. dkf Mar 2013 #4

LOL. Looks like the NRA talking points have found their way into this forum. DanTex Mar 2013 #8
Hemenway isn't taken that seriously gejohnston Mar 2013 #9
Not taken seriously by who? He's a Harvard professor with an extensive publication record. DanTex Mar 2013 #10
I didn't say researchers thought any such thing gejohnston Mar 2013 #11
In other words, you can't name a single researcher who agrees with you. DanTex Mar 2013 #12
I said none have found, AFAIK gejohnston Mar 2013 #14
Umm, you said "they don't seem to be accepted by serious researchers" (post 6) DanTex Mar 2013 #16
I also used the qualifier "seemed" gejohnston Mar 2013 #17
You need to look up the word "mostly". DanTex Mar 2013 #18
he is the most cited on your list gejohnston Mar 2013 #19
Do you ever say anything true? "DA Brent" is first author on 9 of the studies. DanTex Mar 2013 #20
your point? gejohnston Mar 2013 #21
you oppose gun control, why are you here? CreekDog Apr 2013 #23
Yes. Maybe even as much as New Orleans or St Louis. DanTex Mar 2013 #5
There are Illinois' state laws and statewide is lower than Indiana CreekDog Apr 2013 #24
Marking this for a later read. progressoid Mar 2013 #3
CDC puts US suicides by gun at approx. 20,000 in 2010 Progressive dog Mar 2013 #13
Going the root causes of the desire to commit suicide would help, too. There was a paragraph at the freshwest Mar 2013 #15
