Quote CDC data shows 4,368 kids died from gunshot wounds in the US in 2020. Of those, 2,811 were considered homicides, 1,293 were suicides. An additional 149 were listed as “unintentional” deaths, and 25 were classified as “legal interventions.” Ninety of the deaths could not be classified due to a lack of information.

The Real timschochet 6,516 Posted March 29, 2023 Politically this is a winning issue for Democrats. The vast majority of the public wants more federal gun legislation, particularly universal background checks. The support for banning assault rifles is a little less, and Republicans can oppose that without losing much favor. But Republicans generally oppose ALL federal gun legislation based on the argument that it’s a slippery slope which will end up infringing upon their 2nd Amendment rights. And that’s why this is a winning issue for Democrats IF they are able to make it a priority come election time. So far they haven’t done so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can have gun rights and high gun violence rates, or no gun rights and low gun violence rates. We can't have both. It sucks I know.

Nope. Seems America already made it's choice. They want gun rights and have learned to stomach an unbelievable amount of carnage. Except whether we have "high gun violence rates" is not necessarily true. For decades violent crime was on a downwards trajectory in the U.S. I don't know how it's trended over the last decade or so but I'd be surprised if it was higher than it was in the 60's. One of the problems now is that we have a 24/7 news cycle and the Internet. But this notion that violent crime is SUDDENLY an issue is wrong. So, the first question we need to discuss is what is the ACCEPTABLE rate. If that number is zero we have nothing to discuss because that will never happen. Then the next question is, what are we willing to give up to attain that acceptable rate, assuming we can agree on an acceptable rate. We also need to quit comparing the U.S. to other countries because many of those countries don't have the rights/protections we do, and some of us aren't going to be willing to give up basic rights chasing some utopian or unattainable goal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So your answer is "well, then let's not compare them. We should be higher because we have more rights/protections..." What does that mean? That's insane. No we shouldn't. Here's the thing that drives me insane with gun-right nuts. At least I'm unbiased and realistic. If you asked me "hypothetically, if the U.S. gun violence rate was consistent with other first world countries, then would you still favor gun control?" to which I'd say no. But if you ask gun-right nuts... "hypothetically, if the U.S. gun violence rate was five times higher than it is now, then would you favor gun control?" - no. 10x's higher? - no. 100x's higher? - no. Is there any point or situation in which you'd favor gun control? - no.
