    Just because I thought it would make it easier on us if we could just say ‘Hey, we don’t do that here.’”

    In 2023 over 15,000 people were murdered with guns in the United States. You definitely do that there. You know you do. You’re very good at it, and you refuse to do anything about it. You have no compassion for the other victims, so to cry about how one of your own was at the receiving end is political theatre.

      How many of those deaths are gang on gang violence?

      In 2023, the majority of U.S. gun deaths were suicides (58%) and homicides (38%).

      That’s pretty wild. But with over 400,000,000 guns in the USA it’s not going to stop anybody.
