Dr. Stephen Hargarten, professor and chairman of emergency medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, likened gun violence in America to a disease.

Yep, and take out the data from the top ten urban centers (Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Philly, etc) and magically the data gets so much better that the US is right up there with the rest of them. We do, indeed, have a gang problem. The use of illegal guns - which, of course a bad would do zippo to solve - is rampant. Minority "hoods" are overrun with violence, due in large part to inequality, squalor, drugs and a complete deterioration in the family unit.

But hey, let's focus and blame the inanimate object. After all, spoons make people fat.

Hey look! America leads the world in drug overdoses....we should make drugs illegal!

Spamming large graphics doesn't make your point more salient, relevant, or even accurate.

Just sayin'.

But if you ever want to discuss any of those points individually, including ways to solve them outside of your parroting "Ban all guns" statement, I'm right here to show you how wrong you are.

So Faisal Hussian had a complicated past and family misfortune. I wonder how relevant that would be if his name was Joe Bob?

It wouldn't be relevant at all. He'd have been "found" wearing a MAGA hat or something (even when none existed).
