Also, sports is a secondary usage for guns. They were developed for violence.
You think cavemen invented clubs and bats way back in the day to play baseball before they decided to use them to murder things?
Violence was pretty much the only thing contributing to human advancement until about the 14th century. Funny enough, the first gun was made around the 11th century.
Leave the US if it’s such a hellhole. Go live in those other countries where you don’t have to worry about how unsafe the US is if they are so great. And don’t give some bullshit excuse like it’s expensive, refugees from hellholes do it everyday and it’s a great option for them to escape their shitty countries from what i hear. I hear Russian is really nice this time of year, maybe Ukraine? Last I heard, they were looking for more citizens. Maybe somewhere a little warmer like UAE? They seem to be doing pretty well for themselves, at least until that oil money runs out from the world switching to EVs and Green power.
I’ll take my chances with gun violence. At least I can see a person with a gun coming for me. Can’t say the same for a Malaria ridden bug or some refugee coughing TB all over the place.
According to this, guns would only be making the US a safer place since 2/3 of all US gun “violence” is the gun owner using it on themselves.
That would put the actual total gun violence deaths in the US at 13704, just a couple hundred higher than the 13384 drunk driving fatalities that happen in the US in 2021. So when are you going after Alcohol and Weed to be banned? Or do you feel drunk driving is just a secondary use for those so it doesn’t count when worrying about how people are killing one another?
How’s the ban on cigarettes going since you really care about people doing unsafe things and dying from it? Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including more than 41,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure. More than TWELVE times, the number of people that die from guns, including the suicides. Almost 4000 more people die a year from just living in a country with smokers than those who die due to gunshots.
Really let that last sentence soak in! 41000 people died not because they chose to smoke but because other people then themselves decided to smoke near them. Only around 38000 people died from guns in 2019, and out of those around 23000 of them killed themselves, I can only assume so they wouldn’t have to put up with people like you that are really going to try and skip around all this other information just to try and take away people’s right to defend themselves using the best tool for the job.
