    What’s the number one cause of death for children in America? Is that a rounding error?

        Jesus, at least you’re open with your psychopathy.

        3k dead kids in a “first world” country, to something so easily avoided, is monstrous.

        Happy to see you say it loud and proud, fuck those dead kids. Makes it easier to identify y’all.

          Each death, individually, is a tragedy. Collectively? On a population of 330 MILLION? It’s literally NOTHING. That’s how statistics work.

          In the big list of the top 59 ways Americans die, accidental gunshot is #59, fewer than those killed by cops, btw, which is #58, homicidal gunshot is #31 and suicidal gunshot is #21.

            Crazy, compare that to every other developed nation.

              Well, we already know we aren’t every other developed nation, that’s why we don’t have universal health care either. Or guaranteed vacation time, or paid parental leave, or dozens of other things that just might, you know, make people not want to shoot each other. :)

                  The worst part, the absolute worst part, is the morons keeping us from having these nice things insisting that we’re the greatest country on the planet. Clearly that’s not true, but man, try to convince them of that…

                Tbf your comments are a great example of why we do need universal mental healthcare. And better education.

        Right, but we’re not talking about gun-caused child deaths per capita, we’re talking about the leading cause of child death. If you do the actual math, it’s about 20%.

        But of course you know that isn’t as compelling for your argument. Thank you for joining me for another lesson in lying with statistics.
