Yeah it's almost like we have a mental health crisis that's compounded with horrible treatment of veterans. But hey, more guns is a good solution, right?
We totally should have way fewer big trucks. Vehicles, especially in the US, have gotten dangerously large, and absurdly inefficient. We really should be driving smaller vehicles, especially if we claim to care about the cost of fuel.
Your claim here isn't even true. If it were, we'd actually see a comparable number of truck mass killings as we see mass shootings, but we don't.
All in all, this was a really weak gotcha attempt. Please try harder next time.
There have been more lately, maybe psychos just prefer guns because of the terror and movie style destruction they’ve envisioned. Either way the point is we have a mental health crisis in america and taking away anything that’s dangerous doesn’t solve that problem one bit.
I can't find the source for it, but there's a counter-point against the people who claim that taking away guns would solve all the issues we're facing:
Look at any of the European nations that have strict gun laws and prevent most of the general populace from owning/carrying.
Stabbings are through the roof compared to the US.
Now, is a knife-wielder easier to disarm and take down than a gunman? Yes. But that doesn't stop people from stabbing each other.
We'd be replacing school shootings with school stabbings, and depending on how they go about it that could be worse because, unlike a gunshot that would echo through the halls, a quick knife to the gut from behind with a hand over their mouth to muffle any noises means no one hears it happen and could be hours before the body's discovered. Meanwhile, the stabber gets to go with their day/rampage with no one the wiser.
TL;DR If you take away one option, people will just default to another.
