We don't need to imagine it, we're literally living it. There have been more shootings than days this year - two mass shooting incidents just yesterday in Maryland and Kansas. It's already gotten to a point where we treat it as a normal thing and move on to other headlines.
Fair, I'll look it up as well. There are a lot of varying statistics on this so I will just check the ones from this year listed on Wikipedia against the 25 states with permit-less carry (before Florida), and the 25 without and get back to you.
A small number per capita in a state would not invalidate the fact that people died because of mass shootings. The acceptable number of mass shootings is 0. The points I'm making are 1. that gun laws need to be stricter everywhere regardless of blue/red state, permit carry/not, or any other classification criteria, and 2. Fuck Ron DeSantis
Cali has made it easier for the state attorney to sue firearm industries. Something positive to celebrate in the way of gun control.
According to that article, 54% of those deaths were self inflicted, which is a whole separate issue. It doesn’t show anything about shootings with innocent victims. That’s my point. Does constitutional carry actually turn states into the “Wild West” any more than states with stricter laws? According to the other reply I got, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
If you aren't including the increased availability of firearms and its outcomes for even self-inflicted death, you're slicing the pie in a very particular way to create a narrative.
Suicide and mental health issues are worth addressing, especially because men are more likely to use a firearm to commit suicide than women are.
The fact that you keep saying "constitutional carry" instead of "permitless carry" already belies the fact that you're likely to push a specific agenda on this topic that isn't data-driven.
So if you charge me with leaving the unnecessary attacks on reddit, I charge you with leaving the disingenuous debate from the right on reddit.
