People make this same dumb argument about pit bulls (another problem facing society): "
#Pitbulls "only" kill x # of ppl, coconuts kill more, so who cares?" No one calls them out. But use this same fallacy to downplay shootings (a pet issue of the left) and oh boy, brace yourself
In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.
On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…
500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun
Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.
