If self-awareness was a disease you'd be the healthiest person alive. I notice you ignored literally everything else, like you do every time you respond. Hypocritical, intellectually disingenuous coward. Here's the bits you missed:

~~Keep killing them kids Yosamite Sam.~~ Keep pretending like doing nothing will work. Keep pretending like not doing good enough is good enough. ~~You can’t provide any significant rebuttal because there is none~~, all you can do is cry about how I don’t see things from your perspective when you refuse to see things from the perspective of dead kids. You’d do more for them than most people by just copying and pasting our conversation and sending it to your representatives, but I bet you barely vote, let alone engage with those actually making the rules.

PS. I am pro-gun, you’re pro-dead kids. I wish you’d learn the difference. Your opinion is irrelevant when there’s evidence of what works.

“Nothing works!” says only country in the entire world where this happens regularly.

“What you do won’t work for us!” says the only country not doing what works.

“But we’re 50 small countries!” says the country that ignores the EU exists and doesn’t have a federal government.

“But our gun problem is unique!” says country that has the same problems others did before they did something.

“But the guns aren’t the problem!” says the richest country that refuses to fix any problem.

“But my rights!” says the country where gun owners have more rights than women.

19 Countries with the Most School Shootings (total incidents Jan 2009-May 2018 - CNN):

United States — 288
Mexico — 8
South Africa — 6
Nigeria & Pakistan — 4
Afghanistan — 3
Brazil, Canada, France — 2
Azerbaijan, China, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Kenya, Russia, & Turkey — 1

Number of countries with ZERO school shootings: 174. You have almost two school shootings for every country that doesn’t, not per year, for a whole decade and I hear you’ve been trying to up those numbers the last few years. Now that’s a record to be proud of…

The excuses Americans will make for allowing themselves to ignore the dead kid problem is astounding.

And you just spent 48 hours proving me right. And I guarantee you still won’t contact a single representative but will gladly tell me again how you can’t fix it because of Americas unique snowflake status. Go give your emotional support weapon a hug, make sure your NRA membership is up to date, don’t worry, no-one is coming to take it, Americans collectively decided you prefer dead kids. Because that’s exactly what you want when you’re told you can HAVE guns and NO school shootings and your response is “NO! I WANT GUNS!”. The citizens of safe countries don’t need to defend their homes with firearms, but you don’t want to be safe, you want to feel safe. Don’t worry, everyone will notice when you don’t want dead kids instead of feeling like you don’t want dead kids. Just like when you decided you don’t want human rights.
