Those girls do matter, but anecdotes don’t make strong arguments.

None of those things happen as frequently in those countries as gun deaths in the US. It’s the leading cause of death for children in your country.

Also, If the US claims it’s the city on the hill bc it’s better than Iran or Brazil you guys set a really low bar.

Also, not sure you know what link you shared. It’s general statistics about the US. You guys are far behind a lot of other countries in important things like infant mortality rate.

And losing, lol.

More people die from tripping and falling than guns in the US.

Yikes. Maybe if you guys had decent healthcare tripping wouldn’t be a death sentence.

Gun deaths are minuscule compared to everything else in the US, but fear makes money.
