Not really an apt comparison. One is a physical object, the other is a marxist social theory.

@SumKindaMunster yet parents lose their shit over crt more than guns
Theliberal · 36-40, M
@SumKindaMunster Neither one is dangerous unless a person has mental problems.

@Theliberal yet one is the biggest cause of deaths of children in America and the other is a legal framework that racism is institutional
Theliberal · 36-40, M
@Guitarman123 Both are a result of mental illness.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Guitarman123 So you say. Since you are neither a parent nor an American, how is it any of your business how a parent chooses to respond to issues that affect their children?

@Theliberal owning a gun is a result of mental health?

@Guitarman123 No, its how you use the gun thats a mental health problem. If people that had owned guns were the problem, you'd know it.

@Theliberal and the fact that not only are guns are the biggest causes for deaths of children in America and that gun crime has gotten worse shows me that guns are the problem
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Guitarman123 I'll assume that complete over reaction was due to an emotional outburst.

Lots of people are hypocrites. Why are you so focused on just American Conservatives?
Theliberal · 36-40, M
@Guitarman123 It can show you whatever you want it to. I told you what would happen if guns were the problem. In the latest incident if there were no guns.. and the mental (unlawful person) had a gun, and nobody else did. What would have happened?

@Guitarman123
guns are the biggest causes for deaths of children in America

That's not true, its actually auto accidents.
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@Theliberal no guns, howd the shooting happen, with the killers mind?
Theliberal · 36-40, M
@Guitarman123 Yes, the killer owned a physical object that alone is completly safe. You can cuss at it, throw things at it, smack it against the wall.. do whatever you want to it, and it will do nothing. Put a screwball behind it and then there's danger. The gun doesn't have a mind of it's own. There's something you fail to understand. That shooter, wether guns were legal or not , set out to break the law by killing people. If guns were banned and the unlawful person had a gun, do you think they would use a knife instead of it because guns were banned? No, they would still use the gun while everyone else would be an easy target. More would have died.

@Theliberal knife crime is an issue here in the UK but compared to americas gun issue it pales in comparison. With gun crimes on the rise going by your logic then that means millions of Americans suffer with severe mental health issues
Theliberal · 36-40, M
@Guitarman123 Ahhh now I get it. You already gave up your guns, and now expect others to do the same. Sorry pal, not happening. Millions? Your issue is child safety. Approx 19,000 on average die each year from guns, bith accidental and purposely.
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@Theliberal and as a result of that we dont have school shootings and gun deaths are extremely rare. I'm. Glad you're basically acknowledging that guns are considered more important than kids lives
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@Theliberal last year alone 4,357 children died as a result of firearms
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@Theliberal in 2020 45,222 people died from gun related deaths
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@Theliberal 54 per cent was down to suicide
Theliberal · 36-40, M
@Guitarman123 You have a strawman argument. Your gun violence went down, yet still happens while being "illegal", and your knife crimes went up. They need to outlaw your knives too it sounds like.
Theliberal · 36-40, M
@Guitarman123 Pal we are talking about children here. Try to stay on topic.
@Theliberal knives have a different purpose than guns and people can kill easier and more people with a gun.
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@Theliberal you accuse me of strawmanning whilst doing the same thing to deviate from the bigger issue of you love for guns over innocent lives
Guitarman123 · 31-35, M
@Theliberal we are also talking about the major gun issues in America
