      What are their parameters though? Rwanda had a pretty violent genocide where 800k+ people died. I’m sure most of that was gun violence. Does that not count? Gaza is a hotbed for gun violence.

      Anyone can find statistics to argue their point.

        I can’t believe France’s gun homicide rate doesn’t even include all the shootings in WW1 😡😡😡

        These stats are unamerican commie propaganda 😡😡😡

            Nice deflection. Completely ignoring the comment.

            And no thanks, you don’t seem particularly interesting. Just a run-of-the-mill US conservative. They’re ten a penny.

              Nice try calling me a conservative. Everyone who challenges you on your views must be a conservative.

              I understand, I’ve got you in my “Must be MAGA” category too.

                I mean, you’re giving us the standard American Exceptionalist rigamarole. If conservative doesn’t describe you, maybe reflect on the kinds of things that you’re saying that would convince people otherwise.

                  Clearly I’m doing a poor job communicating. Using exact quotes from me, can you show me how I am giving you American exceptionalism, when all of my comments—to me—are saying America is not unique to gun violence.

                Talks usual conservative talking points

                Casually uses racist dog whistle against Asians and Africans

                Has extensive post history in a sub called “conservative”

                “Nice try calling me conservative” 🤡

                And again dodging the actual content of my reply. Interesting.

                  Did you read my comments in the conservative community? You should, because you’ve got me all wrong.

                  All this is because of…

                  People under 18 getting hold of firearms and behaving like idiots with them is something that gets reported on frequently in the US and pretty much the US alone.

                  Something that gets reported on… in the news that you see. You don’t read all the news.

                  At this point it’s pretty clear you’re foaming at the mouth, so I’m going to block you. I suggest you do the same to me. Have a wonderful night.

        We’re counting state violence now? Are you sure you want to include that statistic in defense of America? Our military has a 7-figure body count so far for the 21st century…
