      Yes, of course, you’re right, there’s no difference whatsoever between the per capita firearms deaths and that article completely invalidates my point.

        Then you should have made that argument instead of stepping forward with the weak sauce you used.

          I didn’t bother referencing a source for the same reason I wouldn’t bother if we were talking about how common sugar is in processed food. Nowhere else has the issues with guns the US has. Everyone who doesn’t live under a rock knows that.

          The Onion has a set article that they republish constantly about school shootings because it’s such a shambles.

          So no, I didn’t, because I respected your intelligence enough to assume you’d know. The US’ relationship with firearms is a massive outlier and causes huge amounts of preventable deaths.

          We hold these truths to be self-fucking-evident.
