[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Mark Glaze, a prominent gun control advocate, died by suicide on October 31st, at Lackawanna County Prison, Pennsylvania, following a DUI arrest in September

He was arrested for fleeing the scene of a car accident involving death or personal injury, abandoning a vehicle on the highway and careless driving

Glaze, 51, was once referred as the 'face of the gun movement' by the WSJ and is credited as being one of the main founders of the anti-2A campaign

He worked for some of the largest gun-control advocacy groups in the US, including Everytown for Gun Safety, and cared for LGBTQ and human rights

He also served as an advisor to the Commission on Federal Election Reform led by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker

Glaze came from Colorado, where his parents owned and ran a gun store, backed by the NRA

#1 Glaze struggled with alcohol, depression and anxiety

He has finally conquered them all. We wish him well.

#2 Did his reckless DUI kill another person?

If so, then he wantonly took two lives.

That's more lives taken than by any of the legal gun owners whom he wasted his life attacking

#5 He is not even responsible enough to be a licensed driver.

I wonder if he wished he had a gun in the last moments of his life?

#10 The article does not tell us how Mr. Glaze managed to kill himself in a jail cell. Who, What, When, Where, How and Why are the questions that every reporter should try to answer. That's Journalism 101. Hell, that's junior high school journalism. It's one thing if all the answers are not readily available but, if the questions are not even asked, you have to wonder what the reporter is hiding.

#17 at the skin cancer doc

Hopefully you just need it sliced off with a scalpel followed by a few stitches under local anesthetic, Besoeker.

#18 Also, team Snark-o-the-Day for Frank G with Abu Uluque for set-up.

Besoeker gets a special moderator mention for his at #1.

Separately and seriously, I note the fact that the former gentleman took his rebellion against his gun store owning parents much further than is customary, even among troubled boys.

#19 the former gentleman took his rebellion against his gun store owning parents much further than is customary

He took his beef to the level of wanting to abrogate the Constitutional right of the entire US adult population. Yes, that's too far by quite a margin.
