I have to think miniature guns for toddlers would open up whole new segments for gun manufacturers
With different skins. There’ll be a pokemon skin, a lego skin, a paw patrol skin … The market is endless, and most importantly, untapped.

Yeah but if those children had guns to protect themselves from the guns then it would have been 0.

Yes, but we refer to it as 14 a day, because 13 is bad luck.
How many of those were gang members under 18?
Depending on source, some were gang members over 18.
There are 74 million children aged 0-18 in the USA. Going by your numbers, that means in 2021 that 99.99999% of children in the USA were not harmed by guns.
I know your number is a hyperbole, the real percent given the numbers in the thread is ~99.994%, or 14999/15000 unharmed, which, most supporters wouldn’t bat an eye at anyway

Oh don’t worry, they’re working on it. Look up the JR-15.
Start them young. With extracurricular marksmanship classes as well, to get them to shoot accurately
My high school used to have a shooting range. It was taught as part of P.E.
You make a joke of it… but people back then legitimately did it… I feel taking that away (the fundamental understanding of what a gun is) has done a lot of harm in today’s society.
Somehow other countries that never had gun ranges in their schools are not having the problems America has with guns.
I wonder why! 🤔
Ah yes, because learning about how guns work and firing one makes you instantly into a homicidal maniac! Better not play those videos games! I hear they make you violent.
Edit: Just to prove the point though… British Virgin Islands is worse than America. Must be because those laws are so effective… Not because of the neighbors. Not at all.
British Virgin Islands is worse than America.
What are you talking about?
Under the “crown’s” rule… and has a significantly higher homicide/gun violence/death rates. Almost like the law alone doesn’t matter if the location is terrible. Proximity to central/south America is a problem.
They’ve had six shooting deaths in this entire year.
America has had 35,000
Pretty sure the problem is proximity to America. Where do you think those guns in central/south America are coming from?

whataboutism is a common tactic for conservatives. instead of using it to condemn an action they use it to excuse it. their double standards have become so apparent that it doesn’t trigger any sort of cognitive dissonance when a Democrat is condemned for doing something a Republican already did. any sane person could make the argument “aren’t they both bad then?” and it will go completely unheard.
But then how will we enjoy having debates if we all shut up and actually solve problems?
I’d also like them to, but the strategy isn’t meant to be helpful. Idk the rhetoric term but it diffuses the orig argument & attempts to distract. responding to it is pointless 🤷♂️
It’s literally a tactic used by children when they’re being reprimanded. If you ever come across an “adult” that argues that way, tell them to sit back while the adults talk.
… er… the only thing stopping an AmericaBad-with-a-gun is an AmericaGood-with-a-gun…?
