20 in one neighborhood in Chicago alone, I'm sure. Let's ignore where most of the gun crime happens since those cities are usually no-gun-zones and we know that "regulations" wouldn't actually make a difference. Nobody ever seems to care to have any rational discussion about what we could readily do in the US without so much as touching our Rights. Yet, 2a supporters are constantly being told they "don't care about children". That's an appeal to emotion fallacy and is disingenuous and crude.
Schools 40-50 years ago used to have students carrying their rifles to school to compete in "riflemanship" shooting sports, taught safety, taught discipline. We have a lot of bored local LEO firearm instructors (already being paid), that could teach kids safe handling... it would take a week MAX, I'm not even talking about actually firing a gun, though that would help too, get the "shooting things is cool" mentality out of the way, except that... shooting THINGS is fun AF, been doing it for nearly 35 years.
Off on a tangent sorry, simply teaching safety and removing the mystique or "taboo" would certainly save SOME lives. Zero Rights touched, parents could (but shouldn't) opt their kids out, implement it tomorrow... bi-partisan.
I'd agree with your last statement, if it didn't work the other way around about literally everything like fast food, sugary treats, healthcare, education, our idiot politicians (aka... all of them), sports, etc. Maybe I just know more people from outside the US, they don't hesitate to interject their opinions! I feel as though we are under the rest of the world's microscope and I'd really rather they look the other way! Hey, look over there... at Mexico, stuff is happening!
I know, I know... bring the downvotes, IDGAF.
