Ebbie, thanks for posting the results of those studies. Having lived in Wyoming a lot of years, I am not surprised it was one of the top six. It seems anytime someone wants to get rid of someone they either take them hunting and have an "accident" or they just shoot them in the "heat of the moment." The worst case I remember was the 6th grader who got upset and worried about what his parents would say about is less than straight A grades, so he used his dad's hunting rifle to kill himself after school. And, a lot of the kids in Wyoming are NRA safety trained.

Bobert, I agree there is a strong correlation, usually, between the way a kid is raised and what actions they may take. I just didn't feel like getting into one more gun debate. IMO, by no means is the Mudcat full of people who want us all to have guns, I think a lot of us just got burned out on the debate.
