I would like to ask if you have the same aversion to high windows that you do of firearms? I am seriously not trying to be a smart ass or confrontational. I ask because I know people who have lost loved ones in a car accident who eventually lose their fear or hatred of cars. This does not happen with firearms I think because they are not near as common as they should be. That is what I want to see change.
I suspect that I am more concerned about stupid impulsive behavior than most people. Two of my friends killed themselves on impulse while they were under stress. One just turned around and dove through a high window. The other, who had been drinking I believe, just picked up his gun and shot himself. I am now wary when around armed people at a place where impulsive behavior is likely, like a bar. This impulsive behavior is probably made worse by the fact that there is a growing disconnect between pulling a trigger and what actually happens afterwards. Many people have never seen the effect a bullet has on living flesh.
I fully admit that I have more concerns than answers.
