  1. For everyone who says "guns aren't the issue, it's mental health," or "guns don't just get up one day, walk to a school, and fire themselves," I ask you: Would you apply that same reasoning to nuclear weapons? Certainly you don't believe that the world would be SAFER if civilians had access to weapons of mass destruction, do you? Then why do you REFUSE to acknowledge the empirical evidence PROVING that the prevalence of guns in a society results in more gun violence and deaths? For every 100 people living in America, there are 120 firearms. By comparison, in the next closest country, Yemen (which is currently embroiled in civil war), there are 52 firearms for every 100 people. We are OBJECTIVELY the least safe country in the developed world in terms of the gun homicide metric -- it's not even close. So, tell me, why not apply your flawed "guns don't kill people, people kill people" reasoning to other weapons of war as well? I eagerly await THAT answer. The only halfway decent response I can think of is that nuclear weapons cannot be used in self-defense, to which I reply that in a dearmed society (like most of Europe, for example), you won't need to defend yourself against someone with an assault rifle. Period. My right to LIVE supersedes your right to own a weapon of war.

  3. This is America y'all. The only (developed) country where you're free to get shot at the gas station, flea market, grocery store, elementary school, high school, concert venue, sports stadium, department store, movie theater, church, garlic festival, Juneteenth celebration, on the street, at a bar, in the nightclub, inside a restaurant, on the baseball field, at a park, in the playground, even your own house . . . Pretty much anywhere.
