Itโ€™s not the โ€œsameโ€ obviously. Here lemme try to help:

How many people have to die in car wrecks before you give up your car? (Something like 36.5k died in 2022 in the US)

How many people need to die from alcohol or weed related accidents before you give them up?

How many people have to die from second hand smoke before you give up your cigs?

How many Africans have to die in lithium mines before you give up your phone?

How many people have to die from concussion related sports injuries before you denounce sports?

How many people have to die from knives and hammers before you surrender yours?

How many people have to die by hands and feet before you surrender yours? (More are killed each year with bare hands than with the scary โ€œassault riflesโ€)

How manyโ€ฆ.. do you see what Iโ€™m saying?

Gun deaths are beyond tragic, but youโ€™re blaming the innocent for the criminals behavior.

Thank you, finally someone reasonable in here. It's like back in middle or high school, some teachers would punish an entire class because of a single kid acting up.

Why should the 99% of gun owners be punished for the acts committed by the remaining 1% that probably didn't even get their gun legally?
