While there was a positive firearm story that took place on Dec 5th about a 68 yr old male from Calumet City who defended himself and his grandson (kudos to him BTW) with a firearm I merely pointed out that between the time frame of Dec 19 to Dec 22 (~72hrs) there has been over 2500 negative incidents involving injury or death from a firearm.

Not sure that is "threadjacking" since it is still the same subject. Had my reply been about an awesome Lasagna recipe or about which laundry soap is better... Tide or Gain...that would be "threadjacking" as I know it.

"Threadjack
To take over the content of a message thread by changing the subject of discourse to a topic outside the purview of the original subject."

Just so you know, not all of your "incidents" are negative. Or shootings, for that matter. Decoy of Fenris Dec 2015 #7
