Then you should have made that argument instead of stepping forward with the weak sauce you used.

I didn't bother referencing a source for the same reason I wouldn't bother if we were talking about how common sugar is in processed food. Nowhere else has the issues with guns the US has. Everyone who doesn't live under a rock knows that.

The Onion has a set article that they republish constantly about school shootings because it's such a shambles.

So no, I didn't, because I respected your intelligence enough to assume you'd know. The US' relationship with firearms is a massive outlier and causes huge amounts of preventable deaths.

We hold these truths to be self-fucking-evident.
