  1. The U S. has the most firearms per capita of any country in the world (Yemen is a distant second), being the only nation on EARTH with more guns than people. Not surprisingly, we also have the highest rates of gun violence of any country in the developed world by far. Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Norway, and almost all other developed countries have some of the strictest gun laws, and also have the lowest rates of gun violence. Coincidence? I think not. This is the price you pay for "freedom." I hope it's worth it. Fun fact: 9 out of the top 10 states with the highest rates of gun violence per capita are the Republican-led states of Alaska, Mississippi, Wyoming, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Montana.

  2. 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 has access to weapons of mass destruction, do you? Then why do you REFUSE to acknowledge the empirical evidence that PROVES 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. 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.
