Actually, your stating that public schools caused this school shooting is more than myopic, it’s stupid.

And your saying that if only this shooter had gone to a school that taught religious tenets is counterfactual.

So you’re kinda swinging and missing today.

Don’t worry, you’ll get another at bat later. For now you just look like an idiot. 😂

How many of those hunting rifles were AK knockoffs? How many rounds did they hold? How many rounds could they fire in 1 minute?

If you want to draw an compare, make sure you compare the weaponry.

DON’T ARGUE WITH DONKEYS

The donkey said to the tiger:
– “The grass is blue”.

The tiger replied:
– “No, the grass is green.”

The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit him to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle.

Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:
– “His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?”.

The lion replied:
– “True, the grass is blue.”

The donkey hurried and continued:
– “The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him.”

The king then declared:
– “The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence.”

The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating:
– “The Grass Is Blue”…

The tiger accepted his punishment, but before he asked the lion:
– “Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green.”

The lion replied:
– “In fact, the grass is green.”

The tiger asked:
– “So why are you punishing me?”.

The lion replied:
– “That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question.”

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don’t make sense…
There are people who, no matter how much evidence and evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.

When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet are worth more.

Even one child's death is a terrible thing and we must strive harder to not let that happen. If we want to do the most good we must consider all of the preventable deaths:

Now consider all age groups, just preventable deaths in the US. Firearm deaths included:

For the firearm deaths, 19,766 were suicide; 11,101 were homicide; 852 were accidents; 822 cause unknown.

Your chart simply shows that the US citizenry owns (many) more guns than citizens of other countries. Everyone knows that. In the US we are a free people including freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.

The data in my post clearly shows that by far the largest killer of children (and adults) in the US is NOT gunfire. Rather, traffic collisions, toxins, infectious diseases, hospital errors (and now we must add fentanyl ) kill far, far more children than do criminals and deranged people with guns.

As a society the US should be prioritizing its efforts to save the lives of children (and adults). But ALL sources of deaths must be addressed, not just the use of guns. And I know that this is happening. But to single out the the relatively smallest (from the data shown) cause of death as if it were the leading cause is simply wrong.

Mr. Surfer 7, your statistics are waaaaaaaay off. Specifically, your "drug abuse" number. Either you posted them knowing they were wrong or you were bamboozled.

I sincerely hope that your recovery from your traumatic brain injury is quick and reasonably pain free. I say reasonably pain free because stupid like this should hurt.
