        Doesn’t matter. It’s like saying most pilots will not crash a plane. All Americans are at risk because they let some irresponsible people own guns

          Genuinely unsure what point you’re making with the plane crash thing… yes, most pilots don’t crash? Sometimes they do, and we accept that risk because of the utility flying provides. It feels like you’re trying to advocate for tighter gun control with an argument against it

        Most even! But that’s not as exciting as building a worldview around freaky shit that makes the news

          Why engage with the issue and propose solutions when you can jerk yourself off over how much better you are than the victims?

            I’m better than the dipshit that left a loaded gun in an unlocked glovebox with a 4 year old in the car.

            The victim here is a child. Not the negligent “rEsPoNsIbLe GuN oWnEr” that left a loaded gun where a 4 year old could both access and use it.

            Maybe you actually are a responsible gun owner. I doubt that sincerely since you’re acting like the perpetrator is the victim.

        I would probably feel safer around someone who says that they’re not, than someone who doesn’t acknowledge the potential dangerous situations.
