Never mind the increase in #gundeaths this will bring to the #US, this is a huge gift to the #Mexican #cartels, whose straw buyers will have their hands completely untied. There is no principle or #policy behind this. It is simply #Trump wishing to undo every accomplishment by his predecessors, of whom he is childishly jealous.

@AngelicAura He didn’t care about gun deaths so why should we? How many other deaths this week? Thoughts and prayers and move on. Human life has little value in the USA.

Be careful what you wish for.

"I think it's worth it. I think it's worth it to have a cost of unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. As for people who think differently, it's obviously their problem. They live in a complete alternate universe" – #CharlieKirk

there's some kind of irony in here somewhere

In 2023, the unrelenting epidemic of #gunviolence in the #UnitedStates has claimed the lives of more than 41,000 people.
Throughout the year, each and every one of those #shootings was chronicled by a website that has become the most authoritative and widely-cited source of data about #gundeaths in the country: the #Gun #Violence Archive.Guest: Mark Bryant, the founder of the Gun Violence Archive.

‘Despite his anti-government rhetoric, Robertson was described as the “teddy bear” in the church congregation who was so immobilized that he’d drive 200 yards to church…
‘Clark said to the News. “We all knew he had guns, that he collected guns ... but I mean, it’s Utah.”’
What if these people knew that people who have guns are much more likely to be shot?

The American states with the "highest number of gun deaths" are also those with:
☑️ the greatest number of guns
☑️ little to no gun control laws
☑️ predominantly 'red' conservative leaning
☑️ lowest education ratings in the nation
This is not a coincidence. It's the guns.

While I applaud the desire to protect vulnerable people from the far-right. This escalation of gun-carrying will likely lead to #GunVIolence (which is probably what the far-right wants).
“The number of guns appears to be directly related to the number of gun deaths in America...
There are many extenuating circumstances that lead to gun deaths in the US.
Let’s start with the easy one: guns."

Other developed countries do not need this kind of training.
Gee, I wonder why?

#Guns #GunViolence #GunDeaths #USA #News #MAGA #CultOfDick
When the measure of a man is the size of his #MAGA gun , you got a fking problem with the Cult of Dick
The debate about guns has consistently avoided the obvious: The phallic symbolism of guns is really important. Little boys around the world make plain their understanding that sticks, spears, and guns are ready-made phallic symbols,

Contrary to popular belief, firearm deaths in the U.S. are statistically more likely in small towns, not major cities, according to new research. Across the country, gun suicides are more common than gun homicides, and gun suicides are largely responsible for an increase in gun deaths over the past few decades, the study also finds.

@thetyee Check out this article in Politico:
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/04/23/surprising-geography-of-gun-violence-00092413
The article looks only at the 8 most populous regions, but all 11 regions are clickable on the interactive maps. Check out the rate of deaths by gun violence in the First Nations region: highest of all, but *very* low rate of homicide. It's almost always suicide.
The Politico article doesn't offer a comment, but it strikes me that this represents an emergency of some urgency.

"Yes, it was."
Kids are dying because of American's maniacal love & adoration of guns. Pure greed, ego & evil has overtaken humanity's natural instinct to protect our sons & daughters, our schools, our future.
"These are children."
