On the heels of a landmark Second Amendment decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Associated Press has reported that gun owners commit suicide more often than non-gun owners: “Public-health researchers have concluded that in homes where guns are present, the likelihood that someone in the home will die from suicide or homicide is much greater.” The AP seems to be concluding that gun ownership leads to suicide.

Ah, Denver. My home town. The land of wife-beatin’, minority-hatin’ rednecks. At least, that is the impression one might have after watching the diversity training video Laughing Matters – Think About It, written and produced by the City of Denver. A city employee, who was offended by the tape, has charged the city government with stereotyping and racism. According to the employee, the video portrays white males as racist, sexist, buffoons. When the city ignored his complaint, he took his case to his local councilman. That’s when things got ugly.
