    Yes yes adult “children” who are legally considered adults are children, and the NRA is the sole reason they’re considered adults at 18. Boo hoo. Whatever lol

      In the rest of the world, saying “boo-hoo, whatever” to child massacres you could prevent simply by accepting the scientific consensus is viewed as less than civil.

            Says the guy who thinks the NRA decides who is legally considered an adult in the US. Idk what to tell you dude 18-19yos are legal adults and the sooner you accept that fact the better it’ll be for your own mental health. I hate to do this, but I’m going to have to block you also for your own mental health, you’re unable to stop repeating the same talking points, seek help, for real.

              See how you need to use the qualifier “legal” there.

              Why is that?

              Is it because you too understand that teenagers aren’t in fact fully grown human beings.

              Remind me, what’s a word for a human being when they’re still growing to the state they are when they’re in their adulthood? A cid? Khildren?

              “I’m gonna have to block you” <-- ofc you will, all you gun nuts hate listening to facts and reality, because it conflicts with everything you believe in.

              You annoyed to be living in a third world country? There’s a really simple solution that would make it so that children are less likely to be slaightered, but you refuse to accept it because you’re too lazy to read actual science.

              Gun control works as surely as antibiotics do.

              Within the US, gun violence varies widely. Age-adjusted firearm homicide rates range from a high of 14.4 per 100,000 in Washington, DC, to a low of 1.1 per 100,000 in New Hampshire. Washington, DC’s rate is similar to those of Brazil and Jamaica, which rank ninth and tenth globally. New Hampshire’s rate is similar to that of Chile. Even though New Hampshire has the lowest rates of age-adjusted firearm homicides in the US, its rate is still three times greater than the highest rate in Europe – Cyprus, with 0.36 deaths per 100,000.

              “Seek help”

              For what, exactly? Do you know what this tells me. It tells me you’re projecting. Which means I’ve made you very mad indeed by noting how there’s literally no science on your side and that you live in a shithole. Guess it’s you who needs help. People are offering it, but you’re too brainwashed to accept. As your former (and possibly future) president would say: “SAD!”
