> In terms of absolute number of incarcerated persons, though

They weren't asking about absolute numbers, though

>which country has the highest incarceration rate in the world?

> Seeing a gun doesn't traumatize you for life

It's even worse, the children might see a gun and want one! California can't have that.

> Not to anyone who is hoping to avoid catastrophic civil disorder and mass murder

They are still hoping, but just being more realistic about firearms.

> Like do we focus on enabling safe storage and mental health safety with guns or making it harder? On making kids and families more knowledgeable and safer around guns or just amping up the anxiety and fear?

The only way to move forward is through good faith efforts of the former and stopping the lobby groups from doing the latter.

Power tools are intentionally dangerous too. A reasonable person wouldn't take anyone who talks about how a household with power tools is less safe on average seriously either. Or one who moves the goalpost to battleships.

> No country allow private citizens owning guns but America

This is blatantly false.

It's kind of amazing how we can find countries with more than zero but still don't have kids shot at school.

How peculiar.

And who are also accepting new patients.

The numbers indicate that the alcohol epidemic is an order of magnitude worse. Someone who believes they are equally bad is either minimizing the alcohol epidemic or inflating the gun epidemic.

And yet those are the same people who don't consider alcohol deaths to be an epidemic, and aren't treating it as such.

>As I understand it manufacturing your own firearms is explicitly legal in the US.

In the US, yes. But maybe not in NY.

No way. I saw the Nice truck photos, and that is much worse.

Per the CDC:

>Excessive alcohol use was responsible for more than 140,000 deaths in the United States each year

Firearm deaths don't even break 5 digits.
