What about shootings that aren’t mass shootings? Why are you not counting those?
It’s weird as hell that his comment doesn’t mention that and is upvoted.
Because we have lost more civilians to gun violence than every US soldier in every war ever combined in the last 30 years.
While an interesting statistic, it doesn’t really answer the question.
The answer is 1.5 million citizens. That is how much we have lost in the last three decades. The huge amount is the reason we do not talk about it.
Any normal country that was losing the equivalent of a war in population loss every year would be in crisis. It would be a huge issue.
But it is not, we won’t talk about it. Congress passed laws so we can’t study it. It is taboo because there is something much more important than this huge loss of life.
