Well regulated militia strikes again

A dad shot and killed his three children in Ohio.

They were ages 3, 4 and 7.

In 2023 so far:
Deaths due to gun violence 19,519
Mass shootings 295
Children under 18 murdered 810

This won’t stop on its own.

It’s the guns.

No. It's a violent society.
You don't need guns to kill.
Knive will do.

But guns make it a lot easier. So they are a massive problem.

This is not backed by social sciences. To make it short.

No offense, but common wrong opinions like yours, which are always the same and always in bad faith, are not worth my time

I'm outraged by children being murdered left and right

you're crying, afraid you won't be able to have sex with your guns

Put up or shut up. I'm sick of people like you holding us all back.

On gun violence, the United States is an outlier

When we look exclusively at high-income countries and territories with populations of 10 million or more, the US ranks first for its high levels of gun violence.

Well, I'm no elephant nor donkey. I'm a sociologist.
