Guns "Leading Cause Of Death" For Children In 2020 In US: Study

The study observed that individuals aged between 1-19 were more likely to die due to firearm incidents rather than vehicle crashes, cancer or drug overdoses.

I feel safer when no one has fucking guns on them. Never did feel like I had a reason to feel unsafe standing at a bus stop with a bunch of strangers. I'm not paranoid. People don't get regularly randomly murdered on the street where I live.

2nd amendment was written in the days of muskets.... guns have changed quite a bit, meanwhile the 2nd amendment has not.

Why should people waste their time when you refuse to back up any of your claims with any data whatsoever? If you claim that more guns makes people safer, the burden of proof is on you to prove it, not on them to disprove it. I'm genuinely curious what you think you're adding to this discussion when people provide you data and you respond with, "nuh uh cuz common sense." It makes me think JWeinCom was right to stop feeding the troll.

Well if this is the attitude from the law man, no wonder the whole place is on a slippery slope

You know, I thought you would give me some push back when I said that your argument was "Cops can't even murder children these days without pushback", but no, you've doubled down. I don't know what to do with that. Like, it is so obviously ridiculous on its face that it seems farcical to argue it further. 

It isn't clear what you are referring to with "a certain demographic in a shit-situation" here. If you are talking about American police, I wonder, what exactly is the "shit-situation" they are in systematically? Their job is far from the most dangerous even if it is more dangerous than the average, ranking 22nd in mortality rate. In many jurisdictions they have a solid middle-class lifestyle and even in the poorest-paying jurisdictions they make at least a median income for their area, with benefits. They, unlike almost any other occupation, are protected from liability to a high degree with both strong unions and legal protections -- something very few Americans enjoy. Sure they see the darkest parts of a stratified society, but so do many working people who live those dark parts. And of course when the FBI -- a federal police force in itself that has a long history of racial antagonism, is saying that local police forces are disproportionately white-supremacist for even their standards then maybe it isn't "perhaps" but a "known" like with the gun culture. More people die from police violence than mass-shootings after-all. 

If you are suggesting that the loudest voices that "talk big" on social media about homeless persons and BIPOC persons being targeted by police haven't dealt with any of the problems I mentioned, then I will have to emphatically disagree. We're loud because we've experienced being in these categories. I've personally been racially-profiled by police despite having had lived in my small municipality (with practically no crime) for six years at the time and never having had committed a crime, before or since.  Likewise, my half-brothers and step-sisters have been even more strongly racially profiled for being black, again without having committed crimes. Other BIPOC friends of mine almost always can account and are emotionally distraught when recounting when they were racially profiled.  My strong emotions about this aren't from some distance, but personal experience that has been confirmed to be systematic by the empirical data. 

And if the police can't handle the "stress of the job" and perform it professionally, then maybe they shouldn't be doing the job? Unless of course, like the Supreme Court of the United States has confirmed in many cases, the job of police isn't to "protect and serve" but rather to enforce the state's legislation regardless of its effects.

We need to arm doctors and nurses.

They all always make this copy-pasted statement: "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims" blablabla.

And then there's another shooting the next day and more "thoughts and prayers" are being so helpful.

1. Diversity and inclusivity (due to ending slavery).

2. Space exploration and exploitation.

3. Modern medical advancements.

I'd argue great over good, but good would be good enough.
