    Age-adjusted firearm homicide rates in the US are 22 times greater than in the European Union and 23 times greater than in Australia.

    Gun violence accounts for over 7% of deaths in the US among those under age 20.

      Well it’s a great thing that deaths under 20 are quite rare!

            You do it every time you vote.

              I’ll vote against anyone that proposes gun control just to spite you.

                Then you’ll be voting against everyone because nearly everyone supports some kind of gun control.

                You’ll have to track down and vote for the guys who are willing to arm people on death row if you really believe what you just wrote.

                  Nope it’s very easy, I select the Libertarian candidate usually. I have no regrets about my voting record because I don’t compromise my principles to vote for “the lesser evil” when non-evil options are available each time.

                    It’s an interesting question if supporting incremental change for the better is better or worse then throwing your vote away voting third party and that has to be a choice you make for yourself.

                    I did notice you completely ignored the second part of what I said so did you want to weigh in on that?

              What a fantastic story you’ve invented. I say shootings are rare and you’ve turned this into me shooting children. Absolutely fantastic imagination and skill.

                You say shootings are rare when they’re 23 times higher than your first world contemporaries. So either you’re a bullet dodging child, or you need to go back to bullet dodging to fill those gaps in your education.

                  Ahhh I see! You don’t understand the difference between a relative and absolute measurement.

                    If self awareness was a disease you’d be the healthiest person alive.

                    Tell me again how most likely is rare.

                The US has had 565 shootings so far this year. My country has none. That’s not rare that’s regular.
