20,000 dead annually by your assertion is no problem?


Which assertion would that be? No problem? Wait, are you saying that its either a gun problem or no problem at all? Because that is sure what it sounds like.

Nothing we can do?


Oh? Who said that? Oh, I see. That's you conflating the inability to enact draconian gun control with the inability to do anything about gun violence in general.

This is a defining characteristic of those interested ONLY in gun control. A tell, in other words.

They don't even count.


Sure they do. As suicides where no violence against another person was intended. Not as murders where violence against another was intended.


Well, I am so glad I don't live in your world.


Oh but you do.

And in my world, we are working on solutions! I think mine is the better world.


Because gunz.
