    I don’t worry about getting shot, stabbed, or bludgeoned. Avoid gang activity and gun free zones you’ll be statistically in the clear. Been around firearms my whole life, if you can’t trust the people around you with a firearm maybe they don’t need to be walking free.

        That is a socioeconomic issue. Maybe you should read up on the Mississippi Freedom Movement and its relationship with firearms and the civil rights movement that hasn’t been whitewashed by white America.

        For real, avoiding those areas they mentioned only does two things

        1. Shows that they fear getting shot or stabbed in those areas, which is directly counter to their attestation.

        2. Indicates they’re probably super racist, because how do you tell what is or isn’t a “gang area”?

        Kids here are afraid to go to school (for good reason), and people like this refuse to consider ANY worthwhile fixes.

        The data is entirely clear, gun regulations reduce gun violence. Full stop.

          Kids here are afraid to go to school (for good reason),

          Why? Who is abusing their kids by trying to convince them that they should be afraid of school?

            They’re afraid because people keep going to them and shooting kids indiscriminately. They have to do active shooter drills because it’s such a common occurrence. They don’t need convincing, it’s obvious

              Yikes. Normalizing exotic scenarios. My daughter is afraid of thunder, a much more logical and reasonable fear. Any kid that is afraid of going to school because maybe someone will be on the news is a victim of abuse. If you can’t trust your fellow man, you can’t be trusted to participate in society.
