However, most people don't consider an accident where no malice was presnet to be an act of violence.

Or do you think "car violence" accurately describes running off the road and hitting a tree just because someone gets hurt or something gets broken?

Equivocation was old even when iverglas used to engage in it.

Most folks don't consider accidents to be "acts of violence". beevul Jan 2015 #32

Great, now define "gun violence"... beevul Jan 2015 #36

Absolutely. Shooting someone while defending yourself is a violent act, by definition. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #37

Cute, but by your definition, being hit with a gun butt is "gun violence". beevul Jan 2015 #38

I think I'd more accurately call that "blunt object" violence, whether a gun butt or an ashtray. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #40
