Life and death and guns

I see there is another gun massacre in the USA.
Big hugs to the victims and their families.
Please, USA, ban the gun. Your gun culture is costing far too many innocent lives.

Better stay away and focus on your own little island. Stay out of US issues. You clearly don’t understand the complexities.

@carpediem Scared of the truth?

@HarrietteSpeedy LOL all I’m hearing from you is overheated rhetoric. Not an actual grasp of the realities. You’re a waste of time. Just another know it all Brit. Dime a dozen

@carpediem Or maybe facts? Statistics about gun deaths is hardly rhetoric. The reality is that the gun death rate in the USA is appalling.

@carpediem The British were trying to secure the armory at concord when the revolution started. They are the reason we have the second amendment.

@HarrietteSpeedy Statistics make sense to me when talking about preserving life, 100,000 people a year die from overdoses, Fentanyl being a big share of that, more than twice the number of people who die from firearms, and over 50% of firearm related deaths are suicides. And the kicker to me looking at these statistics is that drugs are already prohibited. They are completely illegal in every city, in every state in the US. They are totally banned from private recreational use. Yet they can be found in every city in every state. Likewise, prostitution is banned illegal in all but one state, yet there are prostitutes in just about every place you could look. Banning things doesn't work, it only creates a criminal market for whatever got banned.
