That’s 4x higher than car related deaths per number of car owners, and cars require a license and insurance, and doing something dangerous with one can have you lose your right to use it permanently.
Cars have the additional factor that they are practically required for living in the US, so reasonably we would be willing to accept a higher number of deaths than we would otherwise for other objects.
I know this was a few days ago but this argument from a leftist pro-gun point of view is so stupid to me. If you’re concerned about fascists, why do you support arming them lol?? It’s just the easily rebuked good guy with a gun bad guy with a gun argument repackaged to appeal to left wing people. Muricans going Murican
They’re already armed. Besides immediately triggering a civil war that push a whole bunch of “independents” to the wrong side, all it will do is disarm the sane.
Lol this is such a stupid problem for your country to have. In the late 90s after having a school shooting here laws were introduced and people had to trade in their guns and were reimbursed. Since then we have had 3 mass shootings, all of which only had a few deaths each, with a murder rate of 9 per million per year. (About 5 times less than the USA based on a quick search.)
I have a friend from Texas and I found it quite funny that he seemed to feel bad for me that everyone here isn’t armed. He’s a good guy but he seems legitimately unaware that the laws on guns are never discussed because everybody of all political persuasions is happy with them, and see the situation in the US as an extremely easily remedied sick joke.
There are 72 million gun owners in the US.
There were 42,000 gun deaths in 2021. A slight majority were suicides.
Can y’all do the math on that one? Or is that too big an ask?

I agree, let’s do gun licenses.
Yep, adds up to “too many gun deaths”.
Good one though
Lul, disarm the people over a rounding error as the fascists work themselves up to a civil war again, libs gonna lib.
