That has to be the best comment. After several pages of comments I haven't seen a single one that shares the authors point of view. I also wonder why make a list that pretty much says "all of them".

readership must be down...
Ever notice RS will occasionally put out a highly disputed 'top ten' list, almost on purpose? Its to generate buzz because RS isnt bringing journalism to readers, its bringing advertising to readers. Who actually subscribes to RS anymore??
The article is actually being described as one of the worst peices of journalism ever published:

Top 5 most dangerous vehicles...
1) cars
2) trucks
3) vans
4) motorcycles
5) airplanes

Absolutely hilarious. It has to be parody. And the comments are comedy gold.

Such hilarity!
My own list:
The 5 most dangerous animals:
1. Those that bite/eat you.
2. Those that poison you.
3. Those that sit on you.
4. Those that dig holes in the ground, which you trip on.
5. Those that look scary and intimidate you.

Some other doozies from the comments section:
Also quite funny was the poster who astutely observed that a car was present at 100% of all fatal automobile accidents.

Unfortunately, I think there is an extremely large segment of the population to whom this would actually seem informative.
No wonder our military didn't beat the terrorists yet! They've been doing it all wrong fighting with machine guns. They aren't even on the top 5 most dangerous guns list. We need to start arming our troops with derringers! The army was looking for a new handgun and the derringer just may be the best choice.

I got one of those bug guns when they first started looking for seed money. They are fun but stink for anything large or further than a foot away.
If I were visiting Earth from another planet, "which I sometimes feel I am", I would have to say these "schools" are a place to be avoided. Tell everyone that they are very dangerous and similar to battle grounds.
Perhaps not attending school is the answer, maybe doing home schooling online. My friends did that with both their sons up to JHS, and they are good kids, the same problems as other teens, and have a lot of friends, so it's not like it changed the outcome, as now I believe one is going on to College and the other to work with his dad.
If I were in that position now, I would definitely think about alternatives, as it's getting worse and no one is doing anything but campaigning on the issue.
We should have volunteers sitting around key areas with concealed handguns instead of doing nothing again. If guys want to do it, then let them. Give them a 2 week course paid for by the Govt or state, and as long as they are capable, allow them to sit there. The problem with this country is that we have short memories about violent acts. Every Lawyer knows that if you wait a year, no matter how upset people are about any really Hanes act, a year from know, they have almost wiped it from their brains.
Which is why the postpone these nasty cases as long as possible.

Actually, Henry Deringer spelled his name with one "r". This list fails on so many levels.

Technically that isn't a fail.
The name "Derringer" spelled with two r's came about from use by competitors to avoid copyright infringements. Therefore, these small pistols came to be more well knows as "Derringers", spelled with two r's and that trend continues today.

Rolling Stone the now doing real reporting.............NOT!
I mean.. seriously. I thought I was going to read that article and go "got that.. got that... ooh, need to get that one.. got that... that one sucks..."
Instead I just stared blankly at the computer screen for a few minutes wondering if I'd had a stroke, maybe I was suddenly intellectually challenged?
Then I got to the comments and the world was A. O. K. with me.

I can't view the comments, it won't let me leave Mobile mode and view the full site. You figure they'd at least be able to run their website correctly.
The heavens have finally opened up, the glorious light has now shined down!!! The question of the century has finally been answered: What are the origins of the CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE???; The answer is now as plain as day: ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE!!!
I think I'll head back to Topanga Canyon to light up a big doobie!
