    My solution is that there isn’t a problem with gun violence, there’s a problem with violence.

    Violence which is caused by systemic racism.

      Violence which is caused by systemic racism.

      Claiming that all shootings are the result of systemic racism is a huge claim. Do you have evidence to support that?

      And how do you intend that we solve said systemic racism?

        Can we not be super pedantic? A lot of violence is fueled by systemic racism, happy?

        And how do you intend that we solve said systemic racism?

        Thats the million dollar question, isn’t it?

          You’ve made a huge, sweeping claim with zero support or explanation of the causal link. Asking for evidence is reasonable.

          Thats the million dollar question, isn’t it?

          So you criticize those trying to do something about the problem, those trying to protect children from getting shot, all without even offering a single alternative? How is that reasonable?
