[QUOTE="MrNiceGuy, post: 832733, member: 261"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://news.metrohealth.org/new-study-calculates-risk-of-death-from-firearms-and-drug-overdoses-in-the-united-states/#:~:text=The%20lifetime%20risk%20of%20death%20from%20firearms%20is%20about%201,children%20will%20die%20from%20overdoses.[/URL] "The lifetime risk of death from firearms is about 1%, meaning that approximately 1 out of every 100 children will die from firearms if current death rates continue. The lifetime risk of death from drug overdoses is 1.5%, meaning that 1 out of every 70 children will die from overdoses." Drugs kill more than guns. You want "common sense" rules for guns? Some drugs are totally illegal and drugs still kill more than guns. Not only that, but the federal gov't gives states like California money to deal with the drug problem and all California does is give people free needles and safe injection sites in which to commit suicide. And for all the mass shootings, you must realize that people who sell drugs are still killing more people, because drugs kill more than guns. You are on the wrong side of this. The law. Liberal cities are allowing theft. Because they feel stopping a crime causes more harm than preventing crime. But businesses are being looted so much, they are moving away. Populations feel unsafe because cops don't intervene and liberal prosecutors do not prosecute crimes. So now populations are moving away too. It's not compassionate to let theives steal just because there is no such bullshit as a "living wage". You want more gun laws on guns even already though we have gun laws on the books but when it comes to criminals, you don't even want to enforce the laws already in place thereby creating suffering. Not very progressive. You are on the wrong side of this. Free speech. Liberalism used to be a bastion of free speech. The ACLU defended hate speech once upon a time. The cornerstone of our democracy is freedom of speech, that everyone is entitled to their opinion. Now, people are cancelled. Comedy & jokes are under fire because, "offensive". Men mansplain to women and women feminstrate to men. Why was the crowd who yelled in Riley Gaines face so afraid of one voice? No free speech anymore? No free speech advocacy? When a conservative leaning figure attempts to speak at a college, they are shouted down. What? No free speech? Now you can say someplace like Germany has laws where you can't deny the holocaust and disseminate nazi propaganda but remember, Russians occupied East Germany and erected a wall for 28 years and the US occipied West Germany. Is this how you intend to keep speech free from offending people? With anti laws and occupying force? Liberals think free speech is dangerous because lies can be told. No shit, sherlock. It's free for a reason. More is better than less when it comes to everyone having a voice. Period. You are on the wrong side of this. [/QUOTE]
