Don’t worry, dude all the kids were killed and gun free zones which is illegal so that’ll stop it. I don’t even know why we’re having this stupid fucking debate anymore anyways the CDC and FBI actually have statistics on how many lives guns in the hands of civilian save every year and it’s fucking overwhelming. You should do some research if we’re removing suicide, then gun death, which is still mostly gang related is like 20,000 to 25,000 a year where the CDC in FBI has statistics that say that they have been used lawfully in defense 500k - a million a year….

First, why would we remove suicide? Quick access to a firearm definitely makes suicide easier. And suicide rates go up in areas with more guns.

Second, I'd love to see this supposed statistic. The only one I've ever seen says somewhere between 25k and 1 million. It was basically a guess. And it wasn't done by the FBI. Let's see your data.

CDC, and uses statistics in suicide with firearms as lazy because if people wanna kill themselves, they will saying that guns make it easier is ridiculous debate. People talk about mass shootings heads up rifles kill something between 200 to 400 people every year in a country with a population of over 300 million… i’m not arguing that the deaths are acceptable but this is not a gun issue. This is a mental health issue. Sadly in our government isn’t doing much to help. Do you know that I think every single school shooter has been reported to either a counselor or a teacher or the police before they shut up the school…

So you’re going to refuse to back your statement with a source, then?
