    This is the sad reality. Gun violence is generally committed by sick people. Similarly, I saw this chart a few years back on Australian gun/knife violence. The plots are mirrored. Violence is sort of static.

        The loser of a knife fight dies in the street, the winner dies in the hospital.

        I don’t recall the origin of that or whether that’s the exact wording but the general idea at least has stuck with me.
