      You are using the tired old fallacious gunnit claims about gun deaths only being “gang killings”, which even the article in question thoroughly refutes.

      Trying to solve it by taking away the guns is like trying to cure tuberculosis with Robitussin. It hasn’t worked, doesn’t work, can’t work.

      Funny how it works in almost all other countries (and certainly in all other rich Western countries) but the US though.

      majority of minors killing and being killed with guns are directly involved in criminal gangs. Accidents are rare; school shooting deaths rarer still.

      Just imagine living in a civilized country instead, where those things basically don’t happen.
