This is where I wish I had my own personal wiki for the last few years. This would've come in handy when someone tried to tell me that more guns would NOT mean more suicide and I was so mad.
Instead of building an argument about the issue this attempts to build a model of the issue that can generate new understandings.1
Generate new understandings AND form connections where you might not have seen one initially!
